Bottom Bay is a wide and expansive beach situated on the south coast just past Sam Lord’s Castle and Crane Beach.
It is a semi-enclosed beach due to towering palm trees and coral cliffs that boast panoramic views of the south shore. Gentle rolling waves soothingly crash onto the shore, adding to the peaceful tranquility of the bay, however the rip currents are extremely strong, so swimming is not recommended, although it is permitted for those willing to swim at their own risk. Bottom Bay draws those who enjoy a serene picnic in a beautiful setting where whale and turtle sightings are a common occurrence.
