A short drive or taxi ride from town, heading north from St John's on
Fort Road, a left turn at the old pink Barrymore Hotel (just
north of the Texaco station) takes you out to the capital city's most
popular beach and some of the best-presered military ruins on
the island. The road winds its way around to the coast at Fort Bay, where a long, wide strand of grainy white sand - packed with
city-dwellers on weekends and holidays - offers the nearest quality
beach to town. At its northern end, you can hire beach chairs from
Millers, and there's a endors' mall nearby if you want to hunt for
souenirs.
At the other end of the strip, 550ft further on, a host
of food and drink stalls open up at busy times, when a crowd descends
from town, transforming the place into a liely outdoor enue. If you
want to swim, there's a protected, marked area at the top of the beach;
elsewhere, the water is normally fine but you'll need to watch out for
occasional undercurrents
