Bathways Beach
Bathways Beach is a remote, unspoilt, beach on the north
coast where you can relax in privacy and admire the views of several startling
off shore islands.
This undeveloped beach of speckled coral sands offers a 30-foot-wide pool
protected from the strong Atlantic Ocean currents by a rock shelf that parallels
the northside of the shoreline. A new visitor facility has some simple displays
on shells, coral and ecology, as well as restrooms.
Off the beach are three
islands:
Sugar Loaf is a privately owned island with a cottage on its south
shore;
Green Island has a few abandoned buildings and no beach; and
Sandy Island
has an abandoned hotel and a nice beach for swimming and is ideal for snorkelling on its
leeward side. Bathways Beach can be reached by vehicle along a good road leading
northeast from
River Sallee, and fishing boats can be chartered from
Sauteurs to
the islands offshore.
