Dickenson Bay
The busiest resort beach on the northwest coast, lined with hotels and offering the widest choice of water sports and beach bars.
Dickenson Bay is the large beach closest to St. John's, about a 15-minute drive away. Along roughly 1.5 km of white sand are several resorts and beach bars. The sea is calm, and you can rent paddleboards, kayaks and banana boats. It is also one of the departure points for boat trips to offshore islands such as Great Bird Island. The beach is open to the public, though loungers may cost money in peak season. In the evening, you can sit at a beachside restaurant and watch the sunset.
