BEWARE OF DOGS! I was walking around the beach with my husband and two dogs came and attacked me. One but my finger and I had to go to the emergency room. PLEASE WATCH OUT.

It would have been such a beautiful beach, but people turned it into a disgusting place full of plastic waste. The sea grass bed is full of all sorts of trash. The restrooms were closed. The free parking right next to the beach is very convenient. Bahamas should seriously do something with the plastics, most of the beaches are just horribly polluted. So sad to see that.

This beach needs to be cleaned. There is garbage up and down the beach. We rented a home close to here and was told how beautiful this beach is. It was full of garbage. Their was also alot of broken bottles in the sand. I don't get the high ratings.

It's more of a local beach and most of it is algae but it does have several clean spots which were very nice. I say it's worth checking out. Fast food across the street.

Great location, not to far out. Ok parking but can be difficult during the holidays to find parking. They have a kids playground with swings and slides etc. Perfect view to see cruise ships passing by.
