Intro
Coconut Beach has a similar vibe and views to Ripaton Beach, but with a bit more life. It’s usually more frequented than Ripaton, but less busy than Purple Turtle Beach. Because it’s close to Portsmouth and has parking, it’s a great middle-ground beach stop.
What you’ll do
- Park near the Picard Beach Hotel and set up for a relaxed swim stop.
- Enjoy the calmer atmosphere without being totally isolated.
- Walk the shoreline and take photos.
- Swim if conditions look calm and safe.
Key tips
- Go on a weekday if you want it quieter.
- Check sea conditions before entering.
- Pack out what you bring and keep the beach clean.
