点评:Like most Caribbean beaches Paynes Bay looks great in the photographs however this is far from the practical reality.
Parking is limited, we initially parked down a sketchy residential street until we were met by a local who recommended to park at 'The Gazebo' where we could also hire sunbeds. Public access to the beach is limited as the busy road is lined with property with only occasional entry points down narrow paths.
The area around the bay is very built up and you wouldn't even know there was a beach there if driving through.
Once on the beach we found it shelves very steeply into the water making getting out particularly difficult. We saw many people struggling to get out of the water negotiating the steep incline onto dry land.
This is not a practical beach for anybody with mobility issues. Parking is very limited and access to the sea itself difficult.
翻译:和大多数加勒比海滩一样,佩恩斯湾在照片里看起来很漂亮,但实际情况却远非如此。
停车位有限,我们一开始把车停在一条不太安全的居民区街道上,直到一位当地人推荐我们停在“凉亭”(The Gazebo),那里还可以租用日光浴床。由于繁忙的道路两旁都是房产,只有零星的狭窄小路可以通往海滩,因此公众前往海滩的通道非常有限。
海湾周围的区域建筑密集,开车经过时,你甚至不会注意到那里有一片海滩。
到了海滩上,我们发现沙滩坡度非常陡峭,从水里出来非常困难。我们看到很多人费力地从水里爬出来,艰难地沿着陡坡回到岸上。
对于行动不便的人来说,这片海滩并不方便。停车位非常有限,而且下海也很困难。
