Surfer's Beach
An Atlantic beach about 2 km south of Gregory Town, one of the few surf spots in the Bahamas, with good waves in winter.
Surfer's Beach lies on the Atlantic coast about 2 km south of Gregory Town. Offshore reef edges create reliable breaks, making it one of the few surf spots in the Bahamas. Winter (roughly November to March) brings the best North Atlantic swells, and local surf shacks rent boards and offer lessons. The beach itself is a quiet white-sand bay, good for walking and sea-watching even when there are no waves. Reach it by turning off the main road onto a potholed dirt track, and drive slowly in a regular car. There are no lifeguards or facilities, so watch your footing on the reef.
