Heron Bay
Most of the glorious soft sand to the south of the beach access is taken up by two sumptuous luxury hotels – the Colony Club and Coral Reef – whose superior sun-loungers spill onto the sand.
Sandwiched between the two hotels, several Hobie cats pulled up on the beach mark World of Watersports. While they predominantly serve the hotel guests, they are happy to rent out equipment to all-comers in low season. (e.g equipment) There’s some decent reef to snorkel in the bay.
The northern section of sand is overlooked by the opulent Heron Bay House Make sure you climb the steps on the beach to peek over the wall at this magnificent coralstone mansion and manicured grounds.
By car: There is limited parking up the beach access road to the north of the Colony Club off the main West Coast road.
By bus: Any of the frequent blue or yellow buses that shuttle between Speightstown and Bridgetown along the West Coast road can drop you off/pick you up at the entrance of the beach access road.
