This beach is an absolute gem, offering a plethora of food options and top-notch amenities. The real bathrooms and outdoor shower and footbath are a godsend for washing off sand after a day of fun in the sun. Public transport users will appreciate the convenience of the bus stopping right at the entrance. The beautiful pink sand and stunning blue sea are just a few steps away, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing day at the beach. For those looking to grab a bite to eat, BQ's Beach Grill is a must-visit. The friendly staff serve up delicious, fresh meals that are a cut above the usual fast food fare. Outdoor seating is available, or you can opt for takeout. The fruit smoothies are a standout, and there's a great selection of other cold drinks too. The atmosphere is always lovely, making for a memorable dining experience. Don't miss the little snack and sweet treat stand on the western side of the beach. The brownie sundaes

John Smith's Bay is a beach that is so stunning, it's like staring into the eyes of a supermodel. It's conveniently placed, with parking that's easier to find than a needle in a haystack. If you're a pro-swimmer, you'll love snorkeling here to catch a glimpse of the Parrot Fish and other reef fish. It's not the biggest beach around, but it's never too packed with people, so you can enjoy your own little slice of paradise. The sand is so soft and lovely, you'll want to curl up and take a nap on it. And let's not forget that the sand has the classic Bermuda-ful pink hue that everyone adores. Plus, the number 1 bus stops right in front of the beach, so you can easily get there without breaking a sweat.
