Local beach accessible by car. We drove right under the shade and parked for free. It was a Sunday and was very popular with many local families and a few tourists and visitors. There are life guards and safety flags displayed. I didn't see any facilties for changing showering or eating so you need to take your own things ( you can eat in the village). Can be noisy (load music) but a welcoming site with beautiful white sands and blue sea. Seemed clean despite lack if facilities....perhaps we didn't see them.

The reef is far from the best I have seen. Its was difficult to see from the glass bottom boat we were on with all customers fighting for a better view. Taking photos was almost an impossibility and I was just glad we did not spend to long over the reef, with is mostly rock and very little coral.

Buccoo reef lagoon tours are many and varied so choose one to suit. There are large tourist boats with loud island music, d j, and rum cocktails. On the opposite side are quiet smaller cruises, some with glass bottoms offering snorkeling around the coral reef. We took the glass bottom boat: Sugar Lips from Pigeon Point. We cruised out to the reef where we swam and saw a wide variety of sea life. Snorkels and goggles were provided. We then went to Nylon Pool which was noisy and overcrowded, then on to a beach where hand crafted jewelry, drinks, and barbecue food was on sale. Overall not worth the trip. With hindsight we should have just done a snorkel and coral reef tour.
