Playa Spratt Bight — Attraction in Saint Andrew

!Attention to the international people! Overall my stay in San Andres was very positive, but not on this beach. Be very careful if you want to rent lawn chairs - either take a picture of a person from who you rent it from or take a receipt (don’t think they produce any receipts there though). Before finishing our day some old woman who claimed that she was the owner came and started yelling and accusing that we didn’t pay 😂 We obviously did, because they ask you to pay before you even can sit on them. We came to this beach early morning. The guy to whom we paid was next to her pretending he didn’t take cash from us hahah. During my stay I always left tips to everyone on this island, but this was too much. Second, you won’t be able to relax because the same person will offer you drinks and massages over and over again.

Wouldn't recommend this for...

There are occasional vendors walking through trying to sell you things but it is minimal. The water is crystal clear and the beach itself is very clean. Along the beach is a nice promenade with shops and restaurants. This beach is often very lively and busy, and many people bring speakers to listen to...
