Crane Beach
A pink-white sand beach below cliffs on the southeast coast. Often rated among the world’s most beautiful beaches, it is loved by stand-up paddleboarders and bodyboarders.
Crane Beach is in Saint Philip parish. Its name comes from the crane once used to load and unload cargo from the cliffs in the 18th century. The beach has a pinkish-white tint and is backed by cliffs and the historic Crane Resort. The Atlantic waves are large, making it ideal for stand-up paddleboarding, but watch for rip currents when swimming. It is a public beach, and you can reach the sand by public steps beside the hotel, or pay to dine at the hotel restaurant with panoramic views. Nearby Bottom Bay can be visited on the way.
