The beach has chair rentals and a boat ramp, but I am not sure if the ramp is operational. It is not a very large beach. I would say it is between a quarter to a half of a mile long. It has white sand and beautiful warm blue water. In addition to sitting out in the sun, you can snorkle, scuba dive or equus horseback ride (ride a horse in the water). They tout scuba divers being able to dive the world famous Wall, which is an area about 150 yards from the shore the depth goes from 35 feet to over 3,000 feet. The beach has access to some nice waterside bar and grills such as Leatherback Landing and Spratnet Beach Bar & Grill. On weekend they have a band out there that jams. Speaking of weekends. This beach can get a bit crowded. While I was there, there was a a large gathering of locals having a good old picnic. It looked like they were having a great time. This is one of the few designated beaches on the North Shore. It is a very low key and laid back place. It is a great time for all. I recommend checking this beach out, doing some of their fun activities and getting a good bite to eat and a savory tropical drink.

Some of the tree canopy is low lying, so you'll have to duck for just a bit. Take your own chairs, blankets, etc. it's just sand and water. No facilities available. Shade is available under trees.

If you would like to lounge under an umbrella it is rented by the day not the hour. $30 for the umbrella and 2 lounge chairs for a whole day is not a bad deal. The water is clean and there are lots of pretty small rocks on the shore. If you like to hunt for seaglass on the shore, this is a great place to go. Just off the shore is some larger rocks that can be a bit slippery but if you slide in slowly, it is very enjoyable. The snorkeling is good and fun too. There is a trailer that sells alcohol and nonalcoholic drinks and bathroom facilities is portable potties. Parking is free in the gravel lot next to the road and there are a few picnic tables around some shade trees. The walk from the port area is under 5 minutes.

This is one of two beaches on this strip and is the closes to the Cruise Ship Pier. It is also…read moreknown as Fort Frederik Beach. It is not very big, but has clean white sand and clear blue water. It does not have a designated parking area, but, there is a free lot within a reasonable walking distance from the tower and there is also free street parking available as well. This park is a work in progress. Its shelter and restroom facility are closed and currently under construction. Unlike Rainbow Beach down the street, the beach has some trees that offer some shade. They also have chairs and umbrellas available to rent and there are a few chairs and colorful picnic tables placed around the beach's perimeter that you can sit as well. There is a truck in the middle of the beach's green space where you can buy alcohol and soft drinks. You can also rent snorkel gear from there. It is not very big and I am not sure of the selection, but the owner, Calvin, is very nice. Outside of that truck, there are no other adjacent places to buy food or drink. There are quite a few within a reasonable walking distance though, but you will have to leave the beach area. With that being said, I highly recommend you bringing some water with you. I estimate that you could probably spend a half to a whole day here easily. You can also drive directly up to some of the waterfront areas, as you are heading away from the beach and make your own little private beach, if you want some privacy and so choose. Even though this beach does not have as many activities as the nearby Rainbow Beach, some still may find it more convenient. It is not a bad beach and will definitely satisfy someone looking to get some sun and get in some warm clear blue water. So, I guess when deciding between the two beaches you have to weigh you need for activities versus convenience.

The sand stretches out wide and pale, the water sits calm and glassy, and the trade winds drift through the sea grapes like a quiet whisper. It's the sort of beach where time slows down, where you spread out a towel, listen to the gentle surf, and realize you've stumbled into a corner of the Caribbean that still feels wonderfully untouched. I remember being here with my wife somewhere between the warm sun and that impossibly blue water, the day turned quietly romantic. We wandered down the beach laughing, the breeze tugging at her hair, and at one point she reached for my hand and pulled close enough that the world seemed to shrink to just the two of us and the sound of the tide. We lingered there a while, wrapped in the moment, the kind of simple, sun-soaked memory that makes a place feel a little magical long after you've left the sand behind.

That's why the water is so unbelievably calm and clear the kind of crystal blue where you can watch fish glide beneath you while you float or stretch out in the sun. But there's a little history beneath all that beauty. Centuries ago the Taíno people lived along these shores, and legend says the notorious sea rogue Sir Francis Drake once used this peaceful bay to hide ships while waiting to ambush Spanish treasure fleets sailing through the Caribbean. Today it remains protected as a public park a perfect curve of white sand and glassy turquoise water where travelers come to swim, sunbathe, and for a moment... live the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

Calling all adventurers, calling all adventurers. This Lighthouse is an historic one that dates…read moreback to 1915, when the Island was under the rule of the Danish Government. It has severely deteriorated over the years, but is still a sight to see. The lighthouse is rusted out, has pieces that have fallen off and is severely corroded. Getting back to the lighthouse is slightly challenging. There are some huge potholes, which only get more challenging when it rains because they fill up with water and it becomes impossible to measure their depth. The closer you get to the lighthouse, the worse the road gets. There is tons of parking at the trail head located at the perimeter gate of the old abandoned National Guard complex. It is marked by a bright blue pallet. One thing to keep in mind is that this parking is known for vehicle break-ins, so do not leave any valuables in your vehicle Now the trail is all accent, heading towards the lighthouse. And there are some very steep points. I took me about 15 minutes to get up to the lighthouse. I would suggest wearing a hat and bringing some water with you on the hike, even though it is not long. It is very, very, very steep. The view from the lighthouse is very nice. It does get a little breezy up there, which I welcomed with open arms. You can go inside of the lighthouse and take two ladders up to the top. That was awesome. If you do that though, be very careful. The inside, including the stairs and floor, have corroded through and are very weak. They were strong enough to support my 250 pound frame, but I will admit, I was very scared. There are a few trails past the lighthouse that you can take to keep the party going. But I had no idea where they led and was not feeling dangerous that morning. Of course the way back was easier, since it was all down hill. But not as easy as I thought. I could imagine the trail being very tricky after a rain, making it very slippery and difficult to navigate both ways. This attraction has a lot to offer. You get a decent hill workout, you get some history, you get a miraculous view of the island's coast. I spent about 30 minutes at the lighthouse and enjoyed every minute of it. I highly recommend checking this site out.
