Lucaya beach looks like it may have been a really nice resort at one point before the hurricanes hit now it’s a very secluded 10-15 minute walk from the Lucaya marketplace which was very cool. They had a bunch of shopping but pretty much all the same stuff and a couple restaurants. You half to walk to the beach it was not too bad but because it’s so desolate it does make you wonder if you’re going the right way but you are. Once we were here we found some shade under some trees and there were some chairs and umbrellas that look to be just left out here so we did not have to pay for beach Access like you do at Tanio Beach and found chairs and shade right away. It is very Rocky and you do have to walk up over some rocks to get to it. Cons: No bathrooms No food or restaurants at beach so bring some snacks from the marketplace shop.
