Beach description
Grace Bay is the best beach in the world according to TripAdvisor and FlightNetwork. It won leadership thanks to the snow-white and powdery sand, the bright blue ocean, the abundance of greenery a few meters from the coast. Also, this place is famous for its low occupancy, impeccable cleanliness and extremely low crime rate.
The length of the beach exceeds 19 kilometers, and its width reaches 125 meters. This place is suitable for families with children thanks to a smooth set of depths, calm waters (in good weather) and light wind. But you should not get carefree - there is not a single lifeguard in Grace Bay. Also, you should keep in mind that there are parts of the beach that have less comfortable conditions for relaxation.
The following activities are offered to guests of the beach:

- surfing;
- snorkeling;
