Long Bay Beach
Soft white sand and glass-clear water that stays waist deep far from shore. Sunrise walks, conch shells, and safe splashing for little ones.
Long Bay, then the rest
The beach at the end of your street is one of the world's great kiteboarding flats. The rest of Provo is a short drive.
On your doorstep
Long Bay and around
The villas sit about 600 metres from Long Bay Beach. Walk it in ten minutes, or take the golf cart in five.
Kiteboarding and wingfoiling
Steady trade winds over shallow flats draw kiteboarders here from all over the world. Lessons and rentals run right on the beach.
