Beautiful warm water. Lots of fish and green transparent waters. The surf is fun but safe. We had one of the most romantic sunsets.

Parked like we read to, with tires off the road, on the very north tip of the island. Walked the pathway to the beach and was amazed! Blue/green water and clean sand. No bathrooms, snack bar, etc, just beautiful beach. Older kids and husband had a great time swimming out to the sand bar and playing in the waves. There... More

Do not miss this amazing beach on the tip of the island. Best sunsets ( and I have seen many). No facilities. Mostly visited by families with small kids that rent houses around the beach.

This used to be a beautiful place, but we just visited after last being there in 2011 and not near as pretty. It will recover with time, but I guess storms last year wiped it out pretty hard and there is no pretty sea grass or anything around it. Go just a little bit south and it is must prettier... More

OK, so Bean Point is heavenly. Little surf. Often much less crowded than other nearby beaches. No facilities keep many daytrippers at bay. But I'm starting to wonder if they should gate street access to the north end of the island. Sadly, we saw two things on one day at Bean Point that ticked us off. The first was a... More
