Cane Bay is a dog’s beach. Whether it be resident dogs like the ever present blue heeler or giant German Shepard from the dive shop or long term guests like little Jack and his mom who visit the beach everyday, Cane Bay is the laid back place to sun swim and snorkel for locals and their pooches.
A recess in the rocky shore line, Cane Bay boasts reasonably calm waters great swimming for dogs (and people) and an added bonus for snorkelers. Calm seas allow one wade out a few feet then float effortlessly over the beautiful coral reef that borders both sides of Cane Bay. A map at shoreline diagrams the reef so that swimmers and snorkelers avoid unnecessary damage to the reef.
Cane Bays holds a special attraction for scuba divers: the wall. At the infamous wall the bottom drops from 25-30 feet to more than 13,000 feet. Divers can experience the spectacular subterranean views of the Caribbean. Not an expert diver? The Cane Bay dive shop offers lessons and equipment rental. Those who wish to remain in the shallows and snorkel may rent masks and fins as well.
Visitors to Cane Bay need not travel far for lunch or a rum punch. On the sand sits Spratnet, a small rustic bar where bathers can enjoy a sandwich or a cold one. The Full Moon Beach Bar at Cane Bay sits on the opposite side of the road with a balcony featuring great views of the bay. The Full Moon offers daily drink and food specials and serves great casual cuisine. Not to be missed is the Friday night All-U-Eat peel and eat shrimp feast and margarita specials. Yum!
Located on the North shore road, Saturday and Sunday afternoon picnickers abound so come early and bring a beach chair to secure a good spot under the shade trees and sea grapes. As the day grows Cane Bay begins to resemble a neighborhood block party with kids, coolers and barbeques and of course dogs.
