Galleon Beach

The beach closest to the entrance of English Harbour, Galleon borders a resort and thus has plenty of facilities, calm waters and a snorkeling reef close to shore. Take the turn-off from Shirley Heights Rd or catch the water taxi from the Copper & Lumber Store Hotel.

The beach is also the departure point for several trails up to Shirley Heights and to the Pillars of Hercules eroded cliff formations.
