Bob Marley Beach, Bull Bay
A free public beach of dark volcanic sand east of Bull Bay, said to be one of Bob Marley's favourite spots. Fishermen, small stalls and bars line the shore, and there is a Rastafari meditation space and Sunday reggae gatherings. A rustic community beach, not a groomed resort one.
Getting there
Off the Sir Florizel Glasspole Highway at Bull Bay, down a narrow lane just after the police station. Free at last report, but access has been disputed, with reported eviction notices and a court case, so check before you go. Strong currents, and crocodiles live in the ponds behind the beach, especially after heavy rain. Not a family swim beach. The pin is approximate.
