Grace Bay is consistently ranked one of the best beaches in the world, with calm, shallow turquoise water that is perfect for young kids. There is no admission fee, but parking is available at several public access points along Grace Bay Road. Arrive before 10am to snag a shaded spot under a sea grape tree before the crowds arrive. Strollers can be pushed to the water’s edge on the packed sand near the main public access points. Do not miss snorkeling near the reef at the east end — even little kids with goggles can spot colorful fish in waist-deep water.
