Fodor's Expert Review Crescent Beach

A 15 minute-drive beyond the area's big tourist destinations, this quieter, less crowded spot offers wide, white-sand beaches with good shelling, making it particularly popular with beachcombers. Adding to the laid-back atmosphere are some good restaurants, where visitors can enjoy the beach from a distance, glass in one hand and plate of fresh seafood in the other. Amenities: lifeguards (seasonal); parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: solitude; swimming; walking.
