Recommended Beaches

  • Ten Bay Beach

The waters are very shallow that you can just walk in it.

  • Surfer's Beach

Like the name, this beach is a good place for surfers. It is said to be comparable to those in Hawaii. It's up to you to judge.

  • Pink Sand Beach

The beach was featured in the Travel Channel's "World's Best Beaches" segment in March 2005. The sand is always cool to walk around with bare foot, unless the volcanic black sands which most of the Caribbean islands has.


 

Interesting Fact - What made the sand color pink?

This is due to "Foraminifera,", a type of microscopic coral insect with bright pink or red holey shell. When they die, their bodies are crushed and mix with the sand and thus giving the sand the pink color.

 


Where can you stay?

There are quite a number of lodging to choose from with range from budget to luxurious. Some accommodations offer only the basics, so do check out what are the things that are not included before deciding to stay.

  • Coral Sands Hotel - Famous for its pink sand beach and turquoise waters. Voted "Best Small Resort in the Caribbean" by Caribbean Life Magazine.

"My husband and I stayed at Coral Sands Hotel for our anniversary in March. We had a wonderful time! The hotel was elegant, yet casual and very relaxing.

The food was incredible, the rooms were spotless, the grounds were well maintained and the staff was very, very friendly.

We will return next year for our anniversary and plan on it for many years to come. I recommend Coral Sands without any hesitation." - Damiana from Florida, USA

  • Pink Sands - Overseeing the 3 mile pink sand beach. One of the finest and luxurious!

"Pink Sands was everything we hoped it would be for our honeymoon. It was remote and private, beautiful and luxurious. The beach really was the most beautiful I've seen.

It was just a few hours' flight from the East Coast, and the atmosphere was so well done that a friend who had just returned from 8 months in Asia thought our pictures were from Indonesia. The rooms were large, beautiful and comfortable; and the food was exquisite.

The island itself was a wonderful little place. Don't go looking for casinos and nightlife, this place was for relaxation, tranquility and romance. We can't wait to return!"  - Sarah from Washington, D.C., USA

  • Quality inn Cigatoo - Offers wedding packages and minutes near to the pink beaches and town.
  • Dunmore Beach Club - Located right on the pink sands!

"We were guests at the Dunmore Beach Club for five nights in February 2003. This was a lovely property located on the beautiful pink sand beach.

Our cottage was private, immaculate and equipped with every comfort. The staff was truly delightful. The resort had a number of small touches - iced tea and sun screen by the beach, homemade cookies in the last afternoon - that made us feel cared for." - Andrea from Chelsea, Quebec, Canada

  • Tingum Village -  Quiet peaceful place. Perfect for retreats!

 "This was the best kept secret of the Bahamas It was friendly, and offered a family-like atmosphere. It felt like comfort food.

It was unspoiled, and mentally and physcially therapeutic. We will always cherish the people here and their courteous, smiling faces." - Micky from Coral Springs, Florida, USA
