A beach with some great hiking to boot. There a a dozen or more parking spots (plus some more roadside room) and usually a small snack stand just off the ‘highway’ 107. Park and unload your towels, chairs, cooler and snorkel gear and it’s a casual walk down a the Salt Pond Bay Trail.  The Vitran bus will also stop at Salt Pond Bay trail-head so for $1 you can get to Salt Pond from Cruz Bay!

Salt Pond is also a great spot for hikers. From Salt Bay trail-head you can either take the trails to Ram Head Point or Drunk Bay. Both are hikes with great vistas.
