The ONLY safe-swimming beach on the East Coast. Trailhead for the historic 19th-century railway hike to Conset Bay.

Updated 12:45 AM AST

Kelly Slater has called this one of the top three waves in the world. Experienced surfers only — reef hazard.

Updated 12:45 AM AST

Globally renowned coastal asset famous for distinctively pink-tinged sands, consisting of pulverised microscopic foraminifera shells mixing with white coral powder. Bordered by imposing 24 ft cliffs and the historic Crane Resort. Powerful rolling surf requires extreme caution and swimming is not advised on anything but the most calm days.

Best for: Photography, couples, special occasions, dramatic scenery

Crane Resort sits atop the cliffs. Stairs or elevator access. Powerful undertows demand respect.

Updated 12:45 AM AST

Tiny uninhabited rock formation just off the southeast coast. At extreme low tide adventurous hikers can wade across the shallow channel to explore the island. Less adventurous? Just to the east are two small sandy coves called Culpepper Beach and Bakers and to the west is Skeetes Bay.

Best for: Low-tide wading, extreme exploration, photography

⚠️ Incoming tides and unpredictable surges are dangerous. Only at extreme low tide and watch the time.

Updated 12:45 AM AST

Despite the unappealing name, one of the most striking beaches on the island. Heavy shore break requires extreme caution and swimming is not advised.

Updated 12:45 AM AST

Severely eroded cove just north of The Crane, technically a continuation of Crane Beach. Once a secluded swimming spot known for its dramatic limestone caves, the beach has been transformed by rising sea levels into a seasonal, tidal cove with almost no dry sand at high water. Accessible only by walking along the rocks from Crane at low tide.

Best for: Photography, geology

⚠️ Access stairs have been significantly compromised by erosion, and even at low tide the scramble from Crane Beach is difficult. There is little to no dry sand at high water. During heavy sargassum season, the cove is effectively inaccessible.

Updated 12:45 AM AST

Located in close proximity to Bottom Bay with unique historical integration. Accessed via long stone steps carved directly into the cliffside from the ruins of the 19th-century Harrismith Great House. Small cove somewhat protected by a thick reef shelf on the northern end but still, strong undertows demand respect. Exercise extreme caution.

Best for: Adventurous explorers, history, photography

Steep cliff stairs — moderate fitness required.

Updated 12:45 AM AST

Wide palm-fringed beach fronting the historic former pirate estate of Sam Lord. Constantly pounded by heavy surf. Highly romanticised and historically significant but aquatic conditions are notoriously treacherous.

Best for: Photography, history, beach walks, dramatic scenery

Sam Lord was a legendary Bajan pirate. Historic context. NOT for swimming.

Updated 12:45 AM AST

Phenomenal geological display where the ocean has eroded the cliffs to form massive subterranean blowholes. Large swells force water through these tunnels, erupting geyser-like high into the air.

Best for: Geological photography, watching blowholes, dramatic scenery

⚠️ Stay back from cliff edges. Best at high tide and large swell — most spectacular blowhole displays.

Updated 12:45 AM AST

Deeply secluded bay on the northwest tip of St. Lucy. Access requires navigating a steep unpaved gully but the reward is a pristine deserted crescent of sand and one of the island's most coveted hidden surf breaks.

Best for: Advanced surfing, extreme seclusion, photography

⚠️ Steep unpaved access gully — moderate fitness required. Coveted secret surf spot. Just north of Hangmans Bay.

Updated 12:45 AM AST
