Visiting Reduit Beach

A long stretch of pale sand with calm water in Rodney Bay, lined by hotels and beach bars, with watersports rentals and space for families. It is the island's most popular beach and the easiest to reach in the north.

Tip: Walk towards the quieter northern end, near the marina channel, when the central section fills up.
