Lovely beach with small waves. It's in a touristy area and there's a lot going on all day such as kite surfing and other water sports. Not what I would call a chill spot, but lovely none the less.

This beach and area was amazing and marked off a bucket list item. We enjoyed the beach at the restaurant and beach near the end of the famous runway so was able to enjoy lots of close take-offs. The bay water was extremely clear and refreshing. Loved it!!

Loved the tranquility of the beach in early mornings and late afternoon. Not too many people around, and the water was just right! Planes taking off were a plus for me.

Great beach with astonishing views on either side of the Eden Rock ! If you go around 6am up until 8am … the beach is absolutely empty and you get the entire ocean to yourself ! In opinion it’s definitely worth waking up early !

Great beach! My family and I spent the day here. Sand can get a bit gritty until you get in the water, but the water is beautiful.
