    Very secluded beautiful beach with great waves!

    We hired a taxi driver/guide, Komal Gabriel, for the day. He met us at the cruise dock and did a great job driving us all over the island. One our stops was beautiful Bottom Bay beach. Very secluded. Great waves! Highly recommend visiting.

    The road is kind of off-road and really rough yet you drive literally through residential areas until you make it to a small parking "lot" on the rocks/dirt (can't miss it). I don't recall the signs, we used the google maps... More

    i would look into Sapphire Beach condos. We just stayed there and we know the owners of a few condos. Very safe, Guards on duty, gated. Nice restaurants very close. Feel free to ask me for more details.

    Its a bit in the middle of nowhere so you need a car and there are no bars or restaurants near by. Being on the beach alone, although seemed safe, may be a little daunting for a lady alone, but the locals and beach sellers... More

    Where to spend a beach day? (13 Replies)
    Hi! We are currently staying near Bottom Bay. And while we love the seclusion, we would like to head somewhere for a beach day. We have small children, so the possibility of being able to rent/use a lounger and umbrella would be ideal. As well as opportunities to order lunch.

    Go to either Carlisle Bay where there is the Boatyard ------------------food , drinks , beds umbrellas and very child friendly. OR go up west through Holetown to Alleynes Beach. Two beach bars, or a top restaurant where you can eat on the decking outside in your beach wear and they have a great kids menu. ( Lone Star ) Depending on the age of your children, just offshore is the Tarzan Boat where they can bounce , swing, jump and slide into the water, carefully monitored of course. ...More

Ok.. well there is something listed as Raggaed Point, which is by the East Point Light House.. over close to Sam Lords Castle, but just south of, going towards Bottom Bay (one would assume). Looks like someone wants to build luxury residences in that area.. but to my knowledge there is nothing there at this point.
