Crane Beach

Crane Beach Review

This exquisite crescent of pink sand on the southeast coast was named not for the elegant long-legged wading birds but for the crane used to haul and load cargo when this area was a busy port. Crane Beach usually has a steady breeze and lightly rolling surf that is great for bodysurfing. A lifeguard is on duty. Changing rooms are available at The Crane resort for a small fee. Access is through the hotel and down to the beach via either a cliff-side elevator or 98 steps.
