Fodor's Expert Review Elbow Beach

Swimming and bodysurfing are great at this beach. It's also pleasant setting for a late-evening stroll, with the lights from nearby hotels dancing on the water. If you're planning a daytime visit during summer months, arrive early to claim your spot, as this popular beach is often crowded. In addition to sunbathers and joggers, groups of locals gather here to play football and volleyball. Protective coral reefs make the waters some of the safest on the island and a good choice for families. A lunch wagon sometimes sells fast food and cold drinks during the day. Amenities: parking (no fee); water sports. Best for: snorkeling; swimming; walking.
