Bottom Bay Beach

Bottom Bay Beach is not far from Crane Beach. This beach is reached by descending a series of stairs through a cliff cut. The scenery is breathtaking, with tall palm trees towards the beach's rear end and massive cliffs on three sides. You'll almost certainly have this bit of heaven to yourself, and even if there are a few other people there, the beach area is large enough that you'll be able to locate your favorite spot of sand. After you've gotten your fill of sun and sand, make your way to the north end of the beach to see the massive cave that continues into the rock face.

This beach faces the Atlantic, and while the offshore reef keeps the larger waves at bay, keep a watch out for rogue waves and rip currents if you choose to swim. Before or after your visit, be sure to take a walkout on the cliffs, which can be reached through a walkway to the right of the carpark. From here, you can see all the way down the shore. Another little beach can be found to the north.
