We stayed at the Atrium which is right on this beach. It is a great beach to go to just to relax and especially to watch sunsets! Beautiful! A few great beach bars with good specials. The GreenHouse offers 2 for 1 drinks for Atrium guests from 11-7 every day and I believe 4-7 for all other guests! great deal! More

Lots of broken glass and garbage. The mess is left by the locals. You would think they would have some pride in their community. Very disappointing More

This is a GREAT beach! on the far end of Simpson bay is a tiny area known as Kim Sha. This area is really nice with a few beach bars. This one boasts a beautiful susnset-which I fully agree! The water is clear, the beach is flat with a slight slope. I might add that there was about a 2... More

This is a smaller beach so not over crowded. It is a bit grassy and not great for snorkelling but you can rent jet skis and watch the millionaire yachts coming and going from Simpson Bay Lagoon. More

Beach is very shallow and you can walk in quite a distance before the water gets deep. Waters are very calm and it also helps that Buccaneer Beach Bar and Grill is right there for your drink orders! The sand is soft and white, excellent for walks on the beach. More

This is the calmest, quietest beach on the island. Never overcrowded with a bar close by and an excellent grill on the premises. More
