West Bay Beach (Conception)
23° 51.4′ N · 75° 7.4′ W
The long white-sand beach fronting West Bay, part of the 'miles of pristine pink sand beaches' that BNT describes, with trails from its north end across to the windward side.
Practical
Position from the OSM-mapped beach at the north end of West Bay. Land the dinghy on the beach; there are no facilities. Beach walks lead to tidal pools and limestone cliffs (BNT). National park: take nothing, including shells. Watch for nesting birds and turtle tracks in season.
Best for
Beach walks straight from the anchorage
