We drove down the narrow track and parked in the shade of the trees. The beach was deserted, a fabulous white sand bay with crystal clear waters. We swam out to the little island and enjoyed the fish life there and snorkelled for a while too. No facilities so take all that you need and relax for a while taking... More

I visited this beach with my family who love to snorkel. We had a great time, view the fish by the island. Bring and umbrella for shade and plenty to drink. The sun is very hot when the breeze is low. all in all a nice beach stop. More

There is a large parking area. It is a short snorkel to the island. Make this part of your trip when seeing the Window and snorkeling Twin Sisters. More

Shallow and safe for swimming. The small, off-shore island is fantastic for snorkeling. More

Another beautiful Eleuthera beach. You can walk way out during low tide. We snorkeled around the island but not much there. Nice beach to swim and relax. More

Gaulding's Cay is a perfect Caribbean side beach to relax on, particularly if you're staying nearby. The white sand shallows run far out to the caye, and the beach is almost always deserted. Snorkeling by the caye is particularly easy for little ones, who will also find starfish, sea urchins, hermit crabs, and mudskippers in the shallows. More
