This serene beach nestled in the Caracasbaai region offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The picturesque view of Fort Beekenburg adds to the charm of this secluded spot.

I stumbled upon Baya beach by accident one night, mistaking it for Caracasbaai. However, it turned out to be a hidden gem - a peaceful and serene spot with a cozy establishment sharing the same name as the beach. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening, and the food was delicious. Despite its proximity to the floating oil refinery, the beach was clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend visiting Baya beach for a tranquil and enjoyable experience.

Can a local or entrepreneur revitalize the abandoned building near this stunning beach?

The beach seems to be quite secluded, but the location of the tug boat offers an exceptional opportunity for snorkeling enthusiasts. Remember to pack some bread to witness the exciting fish feeding frenzy.
