Drill Hall Beach

South Coast · Christ Church

Rating: 4.3 / 5

Drill Hall Beach sits on the Garrison side of Carlisle Bay, a calm, palm-fringed stretch inside the UNESCO-listed Garrison Historic Area. The water is shallow and gentle, the swimming is straightforward, and the setting — with the old military buildings of the Garrison just behind you — gives it a more contained, historic feel than the busier Brownes and Pebbles beaches nearby. Free to access, easy to reach on foot from the Hilton or Garrison Savannah, and a good pick for a short dip before or after exploring the heritage sites around Bush Hill and George Washington House.
