This beach is mainly occupied by the Sugar Beach Hotel but the public are allowed on it. You can take a boat from Soufriere harbour or travel by car along the entrance road to the hotel which is long and very steep. You then have to pay for parking and can walk down to the beach. Much of the beach is taken up by hotel parasols and loungers on the sand but you may be able to hire these. The snorkelling is to the left of the jetty when looking from the sea. Although the water is deep it is usually very calm and the undersea views are very good. The area is roped off to protect the marine environment form boats. There are also floating sun beds in the sea but these belong to the hotel. The public areas of the beach can get very busy. It is worth looking around the hotel grounds but you may need to intend to buy a drink or meal. The restaurants nearest the beach are high quality but not cheap. You should be able to take the free hotel transport back to your car by waiting at the stop. Well worth visiting.

We did not stay at the resort but visited the beach one day. You have to park pretty far away and then walk down a steep hill. We were wearing flip flops, not suitable for the walk. There is a shuttle that will take you back up to your car if you purchase from the restaurant. Once we arrived at the beach we wanted two chairs and an umbrella. It cost $200 for this. Way overpriced for other beaches in the area. The view was beautiful but because we were not hotel guests we couldn’t use the front loungers and had to sit in the back. The front chairs were empty most of the day. We ordered food and drinks on the beach which was great, but food and alcohol were also overpriced. We paid way too much for our beach day here.

Great lunch, beach, snorkeling! We took a boat over and got right in for lunch. The food and drinks were very good and the service was excellent. Kids liked the sliders with fries, we were a bit more experimental with the seafood options and they were all excellent!
