Crane Beach

St. Philip·Southeast coast·Moderate

About

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.
