Bottom Bay

Gorgeous ocean views and azure colors at Bottom Bay. There a small beach. We stopped here while sightseeing. Great photo opportunity spot.

We’d rented a car for a few days while on the island, and we stopped by here after going to Ragged Point Lighthouse. Definitely recommend checking out if you have a way to get there. We were the only ones on the beach, it was a Wednesday at the end of October, but worth the trip. Beach faces the Atlantic Ocean so waves can be a little rough.

Biggest waves on the island! Re-injured every football injury I had in the most delightful and exhilarating way. Too strong and tight for surfing, imo. Boogieboards would be fun. My 16 & 19 boys would swim for 20-25 min and then take a 5 min break to catch their breath. (I was the exact opposite😅) Not reco' for under 10yo and bring a buddy. Nice walk/hike on the bluff above for good photos. There was one man at the top of the beachhead selling fresh coconut drinks (w/or w/out rum) but I was low on $ and couldn't try one.

Do not try to swim here lol you won’t come get back on the each! Very strong waves! Great beach, very quiet, we was the only ones on it as it’s quite secluded. Very private, a few sunbeds down there, and 2 guys selling coconut drinks 🥥🌴 No toilets, or any facilities actually. But it’s perfect!

Not a bad little spot if you happen to visit Harrismith too, as you can walk to Bottom Bay from there within a matter of minutes. The views of the Bay are great if you can ignore the amount of seaweed that’s washed up.

Beautiful, natural and secluded beach. You need to walk some steps to get down here, really peaceful. The waves can be wild so not the best beach for calm swimming, but perfect to relax.

A bit overrun with sargasm at the moment, but an absolutely must-do when in this part of the island. The stairs to the bottom are strong and wide, with a sturdy railing. 50 in total. Watch your step for crabs!

Amazing little turbulent beach. Lovely to just park, walk down and listen to the power of the ocean. Not really suitable for swimming but maybe if you're brave. There was a guy selling coconuts but unfortunately also a pile of trash (a lot of rubbish led over from coconuts).
