Heywoods Beach
Tucked away on the north-western coast, just a stone's throw from the historic town of Speightstown, lies this stunning family-friendly beach that will have you planning your next visit before you've even left!

The expansive open swimming area is perfect for swimmers, while the shallow rock pools are absolutely ideal for little ones to splash around in safely.
The west coast location means you're getting our famously gentle Caribbean waters. No battling rough waves or worrying about strong currents – just pure, blissful swimming conditions.
🤿 Don't forget to pack your snorkel gear! The shallow coral reefs just offshore are teeming with colorful tropical fish, inviting you to become an underwater explorer. The visibility is fantastic, and you'll be amazed at the marine life practically swimming up to say hello.
If you're feeling more adventurous, plenty of watersports operators in the area offer everything from jet skiing to paddleboarding; there's something for every thrill level.
Catamarans make their way lanquidly along the coast carrying guests to enjoy a day out swmming with sea turtles, snorkeling, and partying!
Keep your eyes peeled for the beach's natural entertainers – the elegant sandpipers who've turned wave-dodging into an art form. These graceful little birds put on quite a show as they dance along the water's edge, perfectly timing their movements with each gentle wave while foraging.
