14 km · ~25 min

Long Bay, the kite beach, is on the island's southeast shore, about 25 minutes from the airport. Riders stay in villas along it or at Grace Bay, a short drive away.

Vans wait just left of the arrivals exit. Fixed fares, quoted per person — confirm the total before you leave.

Rental car

Driving is on the left, with plenty of roundabouts. Most agencies want drivers 25 or older.
