FOX\u2019S BAY<\/h6>\n

A gorgeous, long stretch of beach that starts just beyond Isle\u2019s Bay to the north up to Bransby Point in the south. At one end, you can see Old Towne in the distance, and at the other, the Plymouth pier. Even though this beach borders (but is outside of) the Exclusion Zone, it\u2019s still a favourite for many.<\/p>\n

ISLE\u2019S BAY<\/h6>\n

Formerly a popular spot where fishermen from Salem and Cork Hill came to catch and sell fish, it is ideal for swimming. Shaded seating also makes it a good group picnic spot. Grab a specialty pizza or order the beer battered fish \u2019n chips at Isle\u2019s Bay Beach Bar before you go. A perfect end to a wonderful day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIME KILN<\/h6>\n

This small beach is good for shore dives and sea turtle watching. The walk thru the picnic area under the almond trees to approach the beach is just as breathtaking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

LITTLE BAY<\/h6>\n

Great for stand-up paddle (SUP), kayaking and snorkeling and the added bonus of being just next to the always lively Marine Village, with its restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n

NEW BEACH<\/h6>\n

As its name suggests this beach was newly created as a result of the volcanic activity near Bottomless Ghaut \u2013 Nature in all her awesome glory!<\/strong> Getting to it is a bit of an adventure, as you\u2019d have to climb down a rocky slope leading to the beach. Currents are usually strong here so it\u2019s not the best swimming option.<\/p>\n

RENDEZVOUS BEACH<\/h6>\n

This is the ivory to the other beaches\u2019 ebony \u2013 Montserrat\u2019s only white sand beach. It\u2019s accessible by kayak or a short hike from Little Bay, but it\u2019s so worth it. Plentiful schools of fish and a vibrant reef make here a fun time for snorkelers, or if you\u2019re not that inclined, a beach picnic or chilling out with your favourite book is just as enjoyable.<\/p>\n

WOODLANDS<\/h6>\n

Although this is a fairly large stretch of beach, it\u2019s still an intimate setting where you can chill out by yourself or with someone special. The reef makes for great swimming and snorkeling – but the currents can be strong at times, so don\u2019t venture out too far, especially if you\u2019re not a good swimmer. The sea turtles like it here too and they come to nest between May and December. There are two barbecue grills at the facilities overlooking the beach, so you can have a fun-filled day with the entire family. And if you\u2019d like to rent the entire beach house for a special event:
