Folly Field Beach Park
A quiet public beach on the northeast side of the island with wide sands and fewer visitors, good for families and sunrise viewing
Folly Field Beach Park lies in the northeastern part of the island. Along with nearby Driessen Beach and Burke's Beach, it offers a quieter public beach option than Coligny. It has parking, showers and summer lifeguards. The beach faces east, making it a good spot to watch the Atlantic sunrise. At low tide you can find sand dollars and hermit crabs in the sandbars and tide pools. Surfers and kite flyers often gather at Burke's Beach to the north. The parking lots are roomier than those at the southern end, and the surroundings are mostly holiday apartments.
