BGI → Silver Rock
8 km · ~15 min
Fifteen minutes from the airport: Silver Sands is near the island's southern tip, and most riders stay right on the beach.
Taxi
No meters, but fares are set by the government — confirm before you get in and carry small bills.
Rental car
Driving is on the left. Your Canadian licence is enough — the visitor permit was dropped in October 2025.
Bus
Buses and ZR vans run the south coast. Cheap and crowded — not built for a kite bag.

🏄 Surf Freights Bay longboard break
