Gold Rock beach

Alright. This is probably the clean and beautiful water have been in. the softness of the sand is mind blowing. The overall landscape is a gem.

We found this fantastic beach after touring the Lucayan National Park. You walk across the road from the parking lot and walk down an elevated wooden walkway to the ocean. This is the best beach we have ever visited. The ocean is calm and you can walk out several hundred yards in the gradually sloping beach on the white sand beach. If you didn't bring an umbrella or drinks, there is a private vendor who rents umbrellas and lounge chairs and sells drinks and food. We noticed a dirt road entrance after the park entrance which you could park for free and walk to the walkway. We would do this if we returned. However, there is no bathroom on the beach so you might want to pay at the park to use their bathroom and park safely in their lot. We didn't drive further down the road, but believe the beaches further to the east would be just as excellent if you can find a public entrance to the beach. I recommend renting a car and visiting this amazing hidden gem. The beaches along the east end are much better than those to the west end of the island.

When I say this is beautiful, it’s an understatement!! The water is so clear and pristine. I was so happy we came here. I would love to rent a car next time and just go back and spend the day here. This is where Johnny Depp came for the filing of some of the Pirates of the Caribbean. There is also a quite a little walk on boardwalk through the mangrove to get to the beach, so wanted to throw that out there Incase someone can’t walk as far. I had ankle surgery and I was having a hard time walking it. A local man is on the beach and rent outs chairs and umbrellas incase anyone doesn’t want to sit in the sand.

Lucayan National Park has the most breathtaking beach that I have ever experienced so far. The shell variety and sizes were incredible! This beach was very remote and there were very few footprints to come across other than our own. We rented a car and drove out to the park, took the self guided cave tour on the other side of the highway and then made our way down to the beach to spend a portion of our day there. Worth the experience!!

Great beach and a very nice gentleman with a small stands of drinks and other treats to drink and taste while we waited for our guide, Charlie from Mama Gal.
