We had this stunning beach to ourselves and stood in the water watching a couple of rays floating around. Quite a few biting flies when we went so better to be in the water. Easy parking and easy access

It’s a nice beach, but I don’t agree with the comment below about it being the nicest beach in the world. It wasn’t my favourite beach of the island. It was nice, like all the other beaches in Eleuthera. If you are staying near this location I would advise to go, but dont make a detour just to go there. It was not crowded at all when we went, we were alone ! Pretty nice but more waves.
