Fantastic and beautiful beach, though keep in mind, its access is quite limited. Don't trust your Google navigate, it tried to guide us down Sunset Bay Drive. This is now a private access street for the villas complete with private security company cars hanging out at the turn off to ward off hopeful beach-goers. The road you want is Ocean Point Drive. Keep in mind this is also a private street but there are a few spots just off the road big enough to park a vehicle - just make sure you're not obstructing the road or blocking someone's driveway. There's a small access point between the white walls of Sul Mare Villas and a green chain fence opposite it. Hike down from there for an incredible and secluded beach. Went on a Friday afternoon in late April and shared the beach with no more than 15 other beach-goers.
The beach itself is gorgeous. Plenty of room, and sheltered from the major currents for some very calm, very shallow waters. Speaking of shallow, you can typically walk at least a hundred yards out and be between knee and waist high water. The shallows are also quite warm. It's a fantastic visit and well worth the hassle of trying to find and access it.
Just keep in mind since the surrounding villas are all private property there aren't any facilities (read: no bathroom, no snack stands, no stores), so make sure you take a bathroom break before and bring all the supplies, toys and parasols you might need with you as there aren't...
Read moreGetting here was very tricky. Gps was sending us somewhere else. I read reviews and still couldnt get there. So once i found it i had to post up the easiest way to get there. When you are on chalk sound drive, make a left to ocean point drive. Drive up about 1100 feet or so and you will see the on street parking on your right. Pictured here. Fits about 7 cars or so. Then continue walking up until you see the big entrance with the rock wall that has an ocean point sign. You will see a cone or two marking the entrance too. Walk down the path for about 45 seconds and you will be at Taylor bay beach. AMAZING BEACH. Definitely in my top 3 beaches. Very shallow, can walk very far and still be waist deep. The water is as clear as can be. Not much...
Read moreThis beach is very secluded and peaceful. We were lucky to be staying near by so we could walk to it. Very limited parking, so just be aware of that.
As said before, it is super shallow a long way out. So great for being in the water to you knees or hips and do activities. There is a trail at the far end of the beach we walked one day. Didn't go the full way though, as wanted to get back to the beach. Plenty of space on this beach for people to space out, but being by the entrance area wasn't too back for us. We went early December, so a slower time on the island.
No services on this beach, like bar, jet skis, chairs, etc. So bring what you need. We had a great time at this beach and went a couple different times...
