Karysa Posted June 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The beach was "empty". This is because its Great Bay beach and it is known to have pollution issues. It's not just ship folk that use beaches. For lot's of people living in the Phillipsburg area Great Bay beach is their nearest beach and the fact that it was "empty" on both of your recent visits speaks volumes.

When we first arrived, Great Bay Beach was packed. Later that evening...and the following day...the beach was empty. We were the only ship in port the next day. Water was lovely and so was the beach.

Rain is the enemy for this spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
