Visiting

The airport runway is next door, and the lighthouse stands on its hill behind. The sand was laid down when landfill went in for the old air station.

Close in, the water is shallow enough for small children, and further out deep enough for a proper swim. Turtles and fish feed on the dark patches of turtle grass offshore. Sunjammers rents chairs and umbrellas, and you can take drinks down to the sand.

For snorkelling, walk round to Turtle Bay, but keep off the slippery rocks around it. The gate to Cooper's Island Nature Reserve is at the end of the beach, and past it there are no bikes or scooters, only trails and birds.

Know before you goOutside the guarded season nobody is on duty, and after mid-June weekday cover depends on staffing, so do not count on a guard on a quiet weekday.
