Gibbs Beach

West Coast · St. Peter

Rating: 4.8 / 5

Gibbs is one of the quieter jewels of the Platinum Coast, a short strip of powder-soft sand between Mullins and Mount Standfast in St. Peter. The water here is about as calm and clear as Caribbean water gets, the swimming is effortless, and the crowd stays thin because there's no large hotel or bar directly on the sand. Public access is signposted from Highway 1 near the small car park. Bring your own shade, snacks, and reef-safe sunscreen — facilities are minimal, and that's exactly the point for people who want the west coast without the west coast scene.
