Rocquaine Beach
Lying just south of Fort Grey (also known as the Cup and Saucer) is Rocquaine Bay which offers a lot of sand near the sea wall, gradually changing to rock as you move further away. Rocquaine is deceptively sheltered from the typical prevailing winds and surprisingly often overlooked as a good choice of beach.
There is limited parking available along the coast road. The nearest toilets are located at the Portelet beach kiosk which is 2-3 minutes walk west.
