Insider's Tip

Light House Beach
Make a left at the Cotton Bay Club (approximately 14.5 miles to Light House Beach). At WEMYSS sign, go left. Drive 5.2 miles to John Miller. Continue past John Miller, 3.1 miles to Bannerman Town sign. Go straight past the Bannerman Town Sign, approximatly 2.8 miles to Lighthouse Beach. Very rough, rocky and isolated road. Unreal beach, almost as good as French Leave Beach!
