Beach· Long Island· Bahamas — Eleuthera, Andros & the Out Islands
Deals Beach
23° 29.4′ N · 75° 15.0′ W · approximate
A 4,000-ft crescent of soft sand on the Caribbean side between Millerton and Simms, shallow and calm, lined with shade trees and only about 100 ft from the Queen's Highway.
Practical
Position is the centroid of an unnamed OpenStreetMap beach way between Millerton and Simms; it is identified as Deals from the Beaches of Long Island description (south of Millerton, north of Simms, beach about 100 ft from the highway), so treat it as approximate. The guide (2018) calls it very family friendly and notes a beach-side bar midway along that was closed in early 2016; check locally whether it has reopened. The calm Caribbean-side water is shallow; it is a road stop rather than an anchorage.
Best for
An easy, shaded family swim on a north-end road trip
