St Anne's Beach

St Anne's Beach is a beautiful and spacious beach located near the city centre. It is known for its miles of sand, which provide ample space for visitors to play, watch the sunset, or simply enjoy a sunny day. The beach is also home to St Anne's Pier, a popular spot for amusements and snacks. When the tide is out, visitors can walk for miles on the beach, with the sea receding so far out that lovely pools of water are left that reflect the sky and pier.

The beach is also known for its natural characteristics. It features a clean area and good sand. During certain times of the year, the edge of the sea can be quite far, requiring a walk of almost a mile or so to reach it. However, this provides a great opportunity for a comfortable walk barefoot on the sand.

In terms of amenities, St Anne's Beach offers a variety of options. There are public toilets and stalls around for coffee and donuts. There's also great ice cream, a paddling pool, mini golf, amusements, and a little train available on the promenade. Additionally, there are beach huts and places selling snacks and ice cream along the promenade. The beach is also dog-friendly, although dogs cannot go on parts of the beach during peak season.

Parking is available free of charge on parts of the promenade, but there can be a charge in other parts or on private car parks, so it's necessary to check first. The town centre of St Anne's is a short walk from the beach, and local shops provide everything visitors may have forgotten.

You will notice significant winds blowing throughout the day, which will create choppy water conditions with noticeable waves. Given that the water temperature is 17.5 °C, swimming is not recommended today as it is far too cold.
