Heywoods Beach

8 months ago

5 stars. 2 lovely inlets to swim in. There are more but did not check them out. There's also an area to the right of the parking lot walking out to the beach. Smooth sand, lovely calm waters and not much people. Love it here.

Heywoods beach is a couple of steps walking from Speightstown’s bus station and it’s very easy to reach also with public transport. The southern part is more wild, with tree branches on the sand creating the perfect atmosphere for a sunset...just a pity for the abandoned resorts behind. The beach continues till the entrance of the Port Saint Charles, where you can find some palms where get some shade and enjoy the view of the bay.

Nice quiet stretch of beach with white sands and calm water. The part near Port St Charles seems to be less busier than the one south of the parking lot.

We liked the easy access to good snorkelling, sheltered from the boat traffic. Water is also protected and generally calm. The south side ambiance is not perfect because of the abandoned resort. No amenities but lots of parking.

We stayed in an apartment at Port St. Charles and had easy access to this beach. This is a nice quiet beach compared to those further south. There is also good snorkeling here that is easily accessible from the beach. The reef is located within the yellow mooring for St. Charles and also adjacent to it. We saw large schools of blue tang every time we were in water. The is an artificial reef so the coral have yet to develop but there is enough fish action to keep one engaged for a while. I recommend water shoes since there are plenty of rocks on this beach once you enter the water. My son stepped on a sea urchin and ended up with multiple spines embedded in his heel that required a doctor's visit. He wasn't even too far out into the water but was near a large black rock which is why water shoes are advisable. There are no facilities on the beach.
