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.

Although the waters at this beach may not
be as clear as others on the island, this is an
ideal beach for families to relax and enjoy
the sunshine. Amenities here include a beach
bar, restrooms, changing rooms and showers,
providing an easy, restful day.
