ten bay beach

This is a narrow beach along a wide cove, easilt accessible from the highway. With a breeze blowing, it is a great place for walking, swimming and picnics. Without the breeze, the notorious Eleuthera no-see-ums can eat you alive.

We stayed right at this beach, the views are great. The water always clear and calm and seems to go on forever under your knee. From our balcony we can see tons of baby fish, guarded by a school of trumpet fish (8 or so), tons of sea stars, stingrays plus the occasional barracuda and other bigger fish.

Unlike most beaches, there are other people around... Most beaches we at there was NO one. I liked this because there was a little snorkeling. Could get in and out easy to do so. Calm usually. Husband could still walk the beach. Very beautiful. Just like photos.

This is a must see!! We packed our snorkeling equipment & lunch and spent the day here! We found sand dollars, star fish, beautiful shells and even saw a small octopus!!! So private and breathtaking !!! I hope we will be able to return to this wonderful place!!! Did not want to leave!!!! Susan W., North Carolina

There are only a hand full of homes here. We had the whole place to ourselves. The beach is great, shallow clear water like a huge swimming pool. Great place for snorkeling!

We love Ten Bay Beach on the Caribbean side. The beach is clean, easy to get to and if you arrive early and walk all the way down towards the reef you will have the entire beach to yourself. The sunsets are fantastic. The water is shallow enough for children to swim. The snorkeling is good here along the reef and if you swim out and around the reef you will find hundreds of fish. This is definately worth visiting if the Atlantic side is extremely rough or for just a quiet day at the beach.

Sweet spot, soft sand, quiet even when busy with 20 people.Smooth sand bottom, many sand dollars, swim out aways to find big white ones on the bottom...

We went to Ten Bay beach in July and it is a very picturesque area. This would be a perfect beach for a family with young children because it so shallow and warm with no waves. It wasn't our favorite because we preferred some waves and the water was almost too warm for a hot day. We also saw a lot of jelly fish the day we were there, which wasn't a plus. There are lots of trees for shade and it's fairly easy to access the beach as well. It was nice, but not a favorite of ours on the island.

We visited this beach twice during our stay on Eleuthera. It is covered with palm trees and pine trees for shade. The water is tranquil and warmer than on the Atlantic side. It is quite shallow for a good way. There is some snorkeling along the cliffs and some rocks along the beach. We did see sting ray and sand dollars. This is a great beach for lap/distance swimming which we came to this beach for- estimating 3/4 mile from side to side. Very peaceful but bring bug spray. rating 8/10 on our Eleuthera beach scale :))

I went to Ten Bay when the tide was rather low and indeed it was very nice to take pictured, but I also found that the water too warm to be pleasant entering it... in the end just stayed for a while aand then decided to go to the Atlantic side.

DO Not park under any trees! This is the most fantastic beach on Eleuthera...huge shallow pool filled with fish and sand dollars....tranquil, warm a great place to sit and read....

Amazing shallow water forever, with sandbars. Out far you can snorkel and find sand dollars and such.

This is an ideal beach for travel with small children. The waters are shallow so far out that I doubt my son could have reached a point where he couldn't stand up if he fell. An infant can just sit and splash in inches of warm water. There are also some sandbars that were fun to run on. We found sand dollars & starfish. Further out some family members snorkeled and saw a sea horse & sea cucumber. We also saw a small nurse shark in the shallows and several fish. Of course there are bugs on the beach but that was true of all the beaches we visited on the island.

Clear and shallow water, soft sand, perfect for young children! Also great shade in the morning. We loved gathering sand dollars, seeing starfish and enjoying the beautiful beach as a family.

We want it all to ourselves! LOL! Ten Bay is one of the most beautiful and relaxing beaches on the island. We've been to Eleuthera four times and still find this to be our favorite beach. You'll find sand dollars and star fish especially late in the day. We were fortunate to stay at a home on this beach twice. Great snorkeling and kayaking! Occasional nurse shark spotted - harmless.
