Ginger Bay

St. Philip·Southeast coast·Moderate

About

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.

Safety notice

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.
