Crescent Beach is unique because its beach fronts a small bay, Half Moon Bay, full of living coral gardens among which you can walk - only on the sandy bits please. It is even more unique because the properties to the east and west have iron-shore frontage - a tough, craggy, limestone rock - and for this reason, the usual rule of the beach being open to walkers up to the high water mark really does not apply. To access the beach, third parties would have to cross private property.
Our beach is used as a nesting site for the Green Turtle and we make sure that we are around to help the nestlings into the water when they dig their way to the surface after their gestation period in the sand. The sight of numerous baby turtles scuttling determinedly towards the surf line is a sight that one does not forget. No guarantees, but the last nestlings took to the water in August - so if that's your month, you may get lucky and see one of Mother Nature's most wonderful sights.
So for visitors keen on quiet relaxation in a unique environment, but with fast and convenient access to restaurants, diving, and about 30 minutes away, the big city - George Town and Camana Bay, Crescent Beach affords the best of both worlds.
