Cactus Bay
Brett Thom, , Greg Treadwell, Phil Stubbs
For decades Cactus Bay, east of Onetangi on the northern coast of the island, was popular with locals as a secluded getaway. However, after the 20-year dispute over the loop road was settled, landowner John Spencer firmly rejected the idea of public access to the beach and now the only way to get there is by sea.
