Hawksbill Beaches The four secluded beaches of Royal Palm Beach, Sea Grape Beach, Honeymoon Cove and Eden Beach are commonly referred to as the Hawksbill Beaches due to the unusually shaped rock that can be seen jutting from the water from each. Although all of these beaches are palm-fringed with soft sand and calm clear waters, they are not really suitable for families as they are adult orientated with Eden Beach being a clothing optional beach.

This 2 to 3 kilometer stretch of beach is easily accessible and has a variety of eateries and shops as well as vendors selling souvenirs.

Amenities here include a beach bar, restrooms, changing rooms and showers, providing an easy, restful day. Photo Credit: Roberto Faccenda
