Shelly Bay Beach (South Road) Heading east along South Shore, you enter Hamilton Parish,
where you’ll find Shelly Bay Park. This is a great place to
spend a day. A beach house sells snacks, soft drinks and ice
cream, and there are bathrooms, changing rooms and rental
lockers for stowing away those odds and ends that always
seem to get lost in the sand. Rent snorkeling equipment here
($5/hour), towels ($2.50/day), loungers ($12/day) and umbrellas
($2.50/day). Like to go sailing? Try a Hobie Cat ($40/
first hour, $15/each extra hour) or something slower like a
peddle boat ($25/first hour, 10/each additional hour). The
beach offers lots of clean sand (though somewhat gritty) and
crystal-clear waters shallow enough for small children. A
playground in the park has swings, slides and climbing
frames galore – enough to keep even the most active kids
happy for an hour or two.
