Beach description
Access to the sea is possible from anywhere on the perimeter of the island. The coast stretches 17 miles (27 km) and offers different beaches. By the way, due to the small area of the island, you can visit some of them in one day. Distances between them are small and can be travelled on foot. You can rent a car or bike.
The most visited and equipped sandy beach is Crescent Beach. Each access point to it has its own name: Surf Beach (the entrance behind Surf Hotel), Baby Beach (the entrance across the road from Beach Avenue), Fred Benson Town Beach, Innisvale, Scotch Beach, Mansion Beach. Families with children will feel more comfortable spending time on Baby Beach (the entrance across the street from Beach Avenue) or Fred Benson Town Beach. There are the least strong waves and the infrastructure is developed, which makes relaxing with children more fun and safer.
Mohegan Bluffs is another attractive coastal site where you can pick up unusual stones. But it is not a beach for swimming because of the stony land and bottom.
When is the best time to go?
To lay off on the beaches of the mainland, it is best to come in the summer, when a sufficiently warm temperature is settled for swimming. Places like Florida or the Hawaiian Islands are comfortable all year round.
