I stumbled onto this on the internet. It is a thin sliver of beach in Hurricane Hole along Whitesand Bay. Has anyone ever been here? You have to kayak or sup to get to it.

...or sail! You can see it from the large mooring outside Princess Bay. The beach is not exciting, but the bottom is mixed coral, rubble and sand and less mangrovey than the other options. From the west end of the road, you would head to your right for about a 1/4 mile. Rather a better kayak than a swim. This is a VERY nice area for paddling about, especially on a windy day.

Cheers, RickG

Thanks Rick.

I'm thinking this would be a Nice place to stop for a snack while we are stand up paddle-boarding in Hurricane Hole.

That works, as does the spit between Water Creek/Nathaniel Bay and Hurricane Hole if the wind is from the south - basically the other end of the Hurrican Hole inner bays. That is where we see the kayak excursions pull up. All a nice area.

Cheers, RickG

Just across the creek (south) there is a little point with an old cannon sticking out othe ground we had lunch there and did a pretty interesting mangrove snorkle. lots of soft corals and juvenile critters.
