Fun to watch the kite surfers!

Jun. 2023 • Couples

We were on a quest to explore the whole island… so Long Bay Beach did not disappoint us!!

Super fun to watch the kite surfers!
We could see The Shipwreck.
It is a pretty good beach for walking.
LOTS of seaweed on the beach and in the water.
The water was really choppy.

So… fun to see and walk but wouldn’t go there to play in the water.

No vendors there. You will need to bring chairs and drinks/food.

Fun to watch kiteboarding, didn’t swim

Mar. 2023 • Family

We went in a very windy day, so it was really fun to watch the kitesurfing. Too cold and windy for anyone to want to go in the water.

Great beach!

Mar. 2023 • Family

What a hidden treasure. Grace Bay is great but this is right up there. The entire bay is no more than 6 ft deep out to over 1/2 mile. Water is crystal clear with some sea grass when you first enter. Rent a jet ski and take out to offshore bar and the boat that looks like it ran aground and was abandoned. The Shore Club just up the beach and looks beautiful.

Best beach on the island!

Jan. 2023

Visited this beach on a day tour and fell in love. It is so shallow and calm. A stark contrast from Grace Bay Beach. A perfect place to spend a day. Highly recommended!

A Long Bay Beach worth spending the afternoon.

Jan. 2023

Great beach with very few visitors, especially as you go towards the South Bend. Tide was out in the afternoon during our week stay and you could nearly walk to the shipwreck site. Enjoyed watching the kite surfers.

Long bay beach

Apr. 2022 • Couples

This is beach is unbelievably beautiful. The water is so clear with soft sand. The water is shallow for so far in! We rode jet skis to a bar out in the middle of the ocean!

The beach less traveled

Jun. 2022

Long Bay beach is not as crowded or built up as Grace Bay but the water just as nice.
That’s where Provo Ponies take you down to the beach and it’s fun going into the water with the horses.

Not as Nice as Grace Bay, but I Like Better than Most Atlantic Ocean Beaches.

Mar. 2022 • Family

Not as nice as Grace Bay Beach . Another thing this still one of my favorite beaches of the Atlantic. Also this one of my favorite Atlantic beaches. Lastly, I would choose this beach any day then most beaches in the World.

Looking for an inexpensive cook to prepare good home cooked island meals while on vacay for 3 people staying in Long bay beach this weekend. Don’t need fancy set up just food. Lol! Please let me know if anyone has information.

Hi, Janine. What would you like to know about this attraction? Hello, I noticed you travel dates, I have a few questions about Long Bay Beach. We plan to travel next April. How was the water? I heard it is very shallow. Is it too shallow to swim in? and the kite surfers....do they have their own areas to surf? Do they get in the way of enjoying a swim in the ocean? Thanks for your help.

We were there in early March and it was only surfers in the water. It is a huge beach, so you will find a space for swimming. The other side is much prettier though

I agree! Turtle Cove was the best place. People were very respectful of them and just admired them, which is the way it should be. "Take only photographs, leave only footprints." I read this quote a long time ago, and it is my travel mantra!

Best directions to Long Beach Bay

Luv3Girls

Ontario66 contributions

You haven't let me know where you are coming from, but since most people stay in the Grace Bay area, I will give you directions from there! Take Leeward Highway eastbound, and turn right on Long Bay Highway. After a few minutes drive, you will come to Curlew Drive. Turn left. After a few minutes, you will come to Long Bay road. Turn right, and you will see various places where you can see the beach, with parking on the side of the road. There is no formal parking space or lot, just wherever. Please note that this is not a swimming beach, but it is a really great place to see the kite surfers in action. Enjoy!

We're thinking of staying in a vacation rental on Long Bay. Will be traveling with 4 year old and 6 year old. Is the beach safe for little ones? Some people say it's too windy and rough. We're never been to TC.

I would not advise swimming at Long Beach. The beach is windswept and the water is rough, not to mention the kite surfers travelling at a high rate of speed. It is not a beach-goer's beach. The only kids that were there had hard bottomed water shoes on and played in the sand while their parents wind surfed. The Long Bay area is ruggedly beautiful but it will be better for you to go into Grace Bay, Taylor Bay or Sapodilla Bay for your beach days. We enjoyed all 3! Grace Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and is not to be missed, but Taylor Bay and Sapodilla Bay are shallow, calm, much less populated and stunning in their own right. Bring a beach blanket and a sun umbrella, as there is no shade. Most airlines will let you bring the sun umbrella onboard as free-of-charge cabin luggage or you can purchase one at one of the local beach shops for about $40 USD. Enjoy your vacation! :)

Is it usually very windy on Long Bay Beach? We heard it is fine for wind surfing, but not so pleasant sitting on the beach.

I'm sorry that no one has answered your question! If you have already travelled, I hope you enjoyed yourself. If you have not, then I hope I can be of assistance! Long Bay Beach is not for swimming or beach days. It is ruggedly beautiful, but in a windswept and a powerful force of nature kind of way. The kite surfers travel far too fast and the water is far to rough to swim here. More enjoyable places would be Grace Bay, Sapodilla Bay or Taylor Bay. We enjoyed our time at all 3, but bring a beach blanket and sun umbrella, as there is no shade. Sun umbrellas are available for purchase at many stores in the area for about $40 USD, or most airlines will let you bring one on free of charge as cabin baggage. Enjoy!
