Salt Pond Bay is a rugged South Shore favorite with clear water, a short walk down from parking, and access to the Ram Head and Drunk Bay hike area.

Best conditions

Best when winds are from the north or northwest, making the South Shore the better side of the island. Can be hot and exposed.

Helpful tips
  • Bring water, especially if hiking Ram Head.
  • The walk back to parking is uphill.
  • Avoid hanging around late afternoon if bugs are active.
