Prospect Beach

St. James·West coast·Calm

About

Small west coast bay to the south of Fitts Village Beach. The beach is compact, essentially a single curve of sand in front of Waves Hotel & Spa, which dominates the bay. A short walk north brings you to the more expansive Fitts Village Beach. Calm, clear Caribbean water typical of the Platinum Coast, with the same gentle slope into the sea that the rest of the west coast is known for.

Notes

Public beach access is on the right of Waves Hotel, opposite Prospect Road. Limited parking, many visitors park at the Good Shepherd Church in Fitts Village and walk south along the sand. The bay can feel busier when the hotel is at capacity in season.
