HATCHET BAY
Once known as Shark Pit because of the large school of sharks concentrated here that fed on the by products of the Hatchet Bay Plantation’s chicken processing operation that were daily
dumped in the Ocean. Back in the 80’s and early 90’s this place
was definitely off limits for surfing but since that time the
Plantation has closed down and the sharks have dispersed
leaving the Island’s premier big wave break. Located
just 10 miles south of Gregory Town, Hatchet Bay
can hold even the biggest Atlantic swell
offering both lefts and rights.
