Simpson Bay Beach
Simpson Bay Beach Review
This secluded, half-moon stretch of white-sand beach on the island's Caribbean side is a hidden gem. It's mostly surrounded by private residences, with no big resorts, no Jet Skiers, and no crowds. It's just you, the sand, and the water (along with one funky beach bar to provide some nourishment). Southeast of the airport, follow the signs to Mary's Boon and the Horny Toad guesthouses. Amenities: food and drink; toilets; showers. Best for: solitude; swimming; walking.
