The beach was beautiful and much less crowded than the beach near the cruise ship. It was a peaceful way to enjoy the water. Do use caution as the water drops off in depth not too far out. Vendors selling delicious food and drink but no high-pressure to purchase There were a couple of donkeys on the beach (fun to take a picture of) but the beaches security made sure to run off when they got too close. When it was time to return to the ship, the taxi was readily available.

Nice little beach about a 20 minute walk from the cruise port (you can walk along the road or along the beach). 2 sunbeds + umbrella cost $25 to hire. There are a few small unofficial bars and you can hire snorkel equipment. Surprisingly quiet, even with 2 cruise ships visiting.

If you're coming to Grand Turk on a cruise ship.....exit the port terminal heading left and cut across the car park to the main road. Heading towards the airport, it's about a 20 minute walk on a safe road. The sea is always on your left, and there is a clear sign for Governors Beach. When we got there, we were able to hire 2 sunbeds, an umbrella and a wifi code for $28. The beach is lovely, and we were the only ones there (until an organised excursion from our ship arrived mid-afternoon). As you look to the sea, there are jetty ruins on your left. Look to your right, and you'll see a small reef. It is a safe swim and shallow water - no more than 6 to 8 feet deep, but the water is so clear and there are plenty of fish to see. When we were snorkelling there, a turtle arrived and spent a few minutes with us before slowly heading out to sea. Ignore the cruise ship crowds heading for the beach, and make the effort to get to Governors. There are no facilities though, and I'd reccomend you took food and drink, although the stall hiring the sunbeds had a small selection of cold drinks, crisps etc.

Beautiful and not crowded at all! We came on a cruise and the beaches just off the ship were packed. We found this beach online and so glad we did. It’s an easy walk, 15 mins or so. You can take the road or easily walk down the beach to Jack’s bar and then cut over to the road. Going that way means only a small bit of road walking, and there is a big sign that states where the entrance to the beach is. It was white sand and clear water and only a handful of others - highly recommend passing the first section of chairs and going to the further one as we had only one other set of people near us, it was like our own private location! Two chairs and an umbrella were $25 which I thought fair, and there is a lady who cooks made to order foods you can order as well. We had a red snapper, fresh from the water, rice and beans and two waters for only $20. It was delicious. Highly recommend this beach and can’t wait to return!
