we visited here & found a big pine tree to set our chairs under. There is not much shade unless you have an umbrella. The water was clear & clean, we were able to swim without waves or undertow. We s… Full review by Cathy K

Spent an afternoon at the far east? end where the kids tried kiteboards and also rented a jet ski. Kiteboarding was arranged prior and jet ski was a last minute choice. You are able to ride all the … Full review by Shannon M

Came back to this beach twice - calm, clear water with no waves, soft white sand, was perfect for just floating and sitting on the beach! You might see some folks learning to kite board and other fun… Full review by Charlotte F
Hi, Janine. What would you like to know about this attraction? Hello, I noticed you travel dates, I have a few questions about Long Bay Beach. We plan to travel next April. How was the water? I heard it is very shallow. Is it too shallow to swim in? and the kite surfers....do they have their own areas to surf? Do they get in the way of enjoying a swim in the ocean? Thanks for your help.

The day we were there it was not super windy and therefore not many kite surfers if any that I recall. Although I think they tend to stay toward the tip of the beach. The beach is quite long, I …
The day we were there it was not super windy and therefore not many kite surfers if any that I recall. Although I think they tend to stay toward the tip of the beach. The beach is quite long, I can't imagine even if there were many kite surfers that they would get in the way of enjoying this beach. The water is shallow, but I couldn't tell you for how far out because (for me) the water was too cold to swim. I am from Texas and have to have 70-80 degree water to swim. :) Sorry I don't have better answers, but the beach is quiet and the water crystal clear. Worth checking out.
were can I go to find starfish? we haven't seen any yet but everyone keeps saying they are everywhere...is it better to go at the crack of dawn??

I agree! Turtle Cove was the best place. People were very respectful of them and just admired them, which is the way it should be. "Take only photographs, leave only footprints." I read this quote a long time ago, and it is my travel mantra!

You haven't let me know where you are coming from, but since most people stay in the Grace Bay area, I will give you directions from there! Take Leeward Highway eastbound, and turn right on Long Bay Highway. After a few minutes drive, you will come to Curlew Drive. Turn left. After a few minutes, you will come to Long Bay road. Turn right, and you will see various places where you can see the beach, with parking on the side of the road. There is no formal parking space or lot, just wherever. Please note that this is not a swimming beach, but it is a really great place to see the kite surfers in action. Enjoy!
