What it's like
Cemetery Beach takes its name from the walled cemetery that sits behind it. It is a public beach at the northern end of Seven Mile Beach in West Bay, and it sees far fewer people than the long stretch to the south.
A visit starts with a short walk along the cemetery wall to reach the sand. The beach is shaded by Seagrape trees, and the reef lies offshore. Snorkelers often swim out to it, and paddleboarders sometimes pass by. Bring water, snacks and sunscreen, since there is nothing to buy on the sand.
Good to know
- Stores are a few minutes' drive away, so bring water, snacks, sunscreen and towels.
- The current can be strong. Proficient swimmers should be fine, but take care swimming out to the reef.
- Restrooms, an outside shower and parking are across the street. There are no facilities on the sand.
- Be respectful of the cemetery behind the beach.
