Cotton Bay Beach

24° 47.8′ N · 76° 10.0′ W · approximate

A long Atlantic beach at the old Cotton Bay Club estates south of Rock Sound, backed by villas and fronted by shallow reefs.

Practical

Approximate: the Cotton Bay Estates neighbourhood position in OpenStreetMap; the beach is on the Atlantic shore below it. Ocean Fox, which opened South Eleuthera's first full-service dive shop in decades for Cotton Bay in 2007, runs guided snorkelling on shallow reefs and dives on the South Eleuthera wall from Davis Harbour (Scuba Diving). Reach it by road from Rock Sound or Davis Harbour; the Atlantic side is not a yacht anchorage.

Best for

An Atlantic beach day from Rock Sound or Davis Harbour
