Ben Bay Beach (North Eleuthera)
25° 33.5′ N · 76° 43.4′ W
A quiet, sheltered beach on north Eleuthera's top coast between Preacher's Cave and Gene's Bay, facing Spanish Wells across the reef-strewn shallows.
Practical
Coordinate from the Eleuthera Map site marker. Shore access by car from the Gene's Bay ferry road. A 2012 ActiveCaptain reviewer at the Spanish Wells moorings snorkelled a reef north of the line between Ben Bay and Ridley Point. Shallow reef and coral heads off the beach: not a boat landing except by dinghy in calm conditions.
