We went in late afternoon and only saw two other couples there at that time, so we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. Overall, it's a fun place to visit for an hour or so. You could add it on to a trip to the Baths, or do it on a different day, as we did. More

We stayed at Guavaberry Spring Bay and Spring Bay was a just a short walk down the road. The beach is fantastic and there is always a nice breeze there.

This is the best way to "sneak" into the Baths without paying the $3.00 pp admission fee. Also the wallk is much shorter with less climb than the path to the Baths. Just snorkel your way around the rocks to the baths. Lots of fish and a great opportunity for "free diving" down the side of the coral encrusted boulders. More

If you want to get to the Baths without taking the trail, park at Spring Bay's parking area and take the much easier path to Spring Bay. From this little beach you can easily swim or walk over to the Baths. Beautiful and secluded small beach with a calm protected are for kids called the Crawl. Love it here!!! More
