There are better beaches. Quite small, rough & weedy. Small tidal range. OK if you want to wind or kite surf.

nice sand and very clean but some concern about purse snatchers. There is a very nice sandy point for swimming and it is excellent for watchning planes depart every evening. There is also a restaurant at the Reef is you want a change of dining venue.

It's "undiscovered" and so beautiful and yet you can walk to it from the Coconut Bay Resort. Along the way there are some "beach" bars that looked interesting though we didn't go inside.

I liked the fact it wasn't a busy beach. Lots of space. It is very very windy - hence the kite surfing!!! This means churned up seas and not perfect carribean sea colours. The water was warm. Zero snorekeling here. Seriously don't even bother! Lots of the things above are the reason why it is quiet, lots of space and... More

Sandy Beach has real potential, especially if you like your beaches quiet. There is a beach rental outfit (Kite-boards, wind-surfers, scuba and snorkel) next door to The Reef Beach Cafe (see the TripAdvisor review) where we enjoyed a nice lunch and beers when we arrived at the airport a little too early. You arrive/depart on the northside of the runway... More

Beautiful sandy beach at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea with lots of waves in two different directions during high winds. Be careful not to be sucked in from the undersea currents that are quite powerfull at times at the intersection of the two sand-bars...

A mile long soft sandy beach, wild and unspoilt for the most part, with good facilities on the upwind side of the beach (beach bars etc), and a wonderful view out to the Maria Islands and Cape Moule a Chique to the south. Beautiful, relaxing, generally very safe to swim, and the water is almost always clean and clear. Sometimes,... More
