Elbow Beach
The closest long sandy beach to Hamilton, with about 1.5 km of pinkish-white sand. Reefs near the shore are good for snorkelling.
Elbow Beach lies on the south shore in Paget Parish, about 10 minutes' drive from Hamilton. It is a weekend favourite of both visitors and locals. The beach is long and the waves are usually gentle. Near the eastern end, reefs and shipwreck remains lie offshore, making it good for snorkelling. The public beach area is free, and the western section has hotels and beachfront restaurants. Take Bus 2 or 7 and get off on South Road, then walk about 5 minutes along a path.
