Galleon Beach
A calm, sheltered little beach inside English Harbour, reached by water taxi from the dockyard, and the starting point of the Shirley Heights trail.
Galleon Beach lies inside the entrance of English Harbour, backed by the Shirley Heights hillside. Its gentle waves and fine sand make it good for swimming and snorkelling. Water taxis from Nelson's Dockyard reach it in a few minutes, or you can drive around. The beach has restaurants and loungers for rent. From the eastern end you can walk to the Pillars of Hercules, and from the southern side the Lookout Trail climbs up to Shirley Heights.
