Getting There

Walking
From the main area of Flying Fish Cove, head towards the coastline along the path that runs parallel to the beach. Follow the scenic coastal path for approximately 1.5 kilometers until you reach a fork in the trail. At the fork, take the left path that leads towards the west. Continue along this trail, which will weave through some lush vegetation and provide beautiful views of the ocean. After about 500 meters, you will see signs pointing towards West White Beach. Follow these signs, and the path will lead you directly to the beach entrance.

Biking
If you prefer biking, rent a bike from one of the local shops in Flying Fish Cove. Start from the main town area and ride towards the coastal path, keeping the ocean on your left. After about 1 kilometer, you will encounter a small hill. Carefully ride down the hill, and then follow the path that curves towards the left. Continue biking for another 1 kilometer, and at the junction, take the left turn towards West White Beach. The path will take you directly to the beach entrance after a short ride.

Hiking
For those looking for a hiking adventure, start at the Flying Fish Cove lookout point. Begin your hike by descending the steep trail that leads down to the coastline.
