Buy your fish here. On most weekdays the catch is sold at the bay and filleted on request, and the shaded hillside by the old fort is a good place to eat lunch.

Visiting

Handwritten boards on the way down announce fish for sale when the boats are in. The sand is fringed with baygrape and palmetto, and the shallows hold wading pools with small crabs, shrimp and fish for children to explore.

Walk the western side to the ruins of the Devonshire Bay Battery, an old fort, then climb the hillside above it. There is shade there and a view over the bay to the open ocean. Few visitors come, so you share it mostly with local families.

Know before you goThe park was renamed Mary Prince Emancipation Park in 2020, so road signs may use that name.
