Lake Mainstay Resort

Beach · Pomeroon-Supenaam, Guyana

On the Essequibo Coast near Anna Regina, Mainstay Lake is fringed by pale sand so fine the spot is often called Guyana's white-sand lake beach, within the Amerindian community of Mainstay-Whyaka. The lakeside resort adds benabs, a swimming area, water sports and a restaurant, and the beach fills with day visitors on holiday weekends. The dark, clean freshwater is calm and family-friendly, a gentler alternative to the Atlantic coast.
