Crane Beach

An exquisite crescent of pink sand on the southeast coast, Crane Beach is protected by steep cliffs. As attractive as this location is now, it was named not for the elegant long-legged wading birds but for the crane used for hauling and loading cargo when this area was a busy port. Protected by a reef, the beach has lightly rolling surf that is great for bodysurfing. A lifeguard is on duty. Changing rooms are available at The Crane resort for a small fee (which you can apply toward drinks or a meal at the restaurant). Beach access is through the hotel and down about 200 steps.
