Have you ever dreamed about swimming in crystal clear, aqua water on some tropical island? If so, this is it. I've been to many tropical places around the world and Governors Beach / 7 mile beach is on a whole other level. When I arrived, the sun was out so the water looked fake. I thought "WTF is this...can this be real or am I dreaming". That's how nice the water is. White soft sand on the beach and nothing but soft sand under the water. It's almost unreal. It's an easy beach to get to. It's off the main road which I believe is West Bay Road. A lot of parking. There' shade from the big pine trees but it's not right up against the water so on days when the sun is out, finding shade up against the water is going to be impossible unless you bring an umbrella. But it's all good, we put our stuff up under the trees by the parking lot and everything was safe. 7-mile beach really is heaven on earth. It's crazy how nice it is.

This is an excellent beach spot! However, be aware it doesn’t come equipped with chairs or umbrellas like the much more crowded public beach. Governor’s beach is a modest little area, but the sand and water is picturesque and is a great place to swim and relax away from the crowds.

On 7 Mile beach, this is the ideal parking spot and taking off point for long walks on the Beach! Park here and walk to the right. We used to walk all the way to Public Beach( literally the name of the next beach with parking spots). When you see 8 Gazebos in a row with lots of rental chairs you have reached the Public Beach. We hit this beach at least seven or eight times during our trip.

We spent the day. Parking is available, porta potties, picnic tables, shade, chickens. The sand is beautiful, the water clear. The waves were very big today! Not too crowded. Spent some time walking along Seven Mile Beach. Did not attempt snorkeling due to rough water. It was a very enjoyable day.

A perfect and marvelous beach! If you’re looking for crowds and noise, go to another place. We came to this beach from going on the Celebrity Beyond cruise ship and, after finding this place, we were astounded by the beauty of the beach. The waters are crystal clear and there isn’t enough people to make the place crowded or noisy. For our family, we don’t mind them not having any facilities. However, if you are looking for a place to rent gear, beach chairs, equipment, or anything of sorts, this isn’t the place to go, since it’s a beach where locals go.

This beach was amazing! Long and wide, beautiful white sand beach, crystal clear water. Perfect for swimming or walking along. Forget the "hotel" beaches, go here instead! Free parking, portable toilets which were very clean, picnic tables, and shade. Bring your owns food and drinks, towels.
