The Jacob Taylor beach is a public bathing beach located near the Silver Sand Villas and south of the town of Duncan. The property consists of a moderate distribution of vegetation semi manicured landscape and lawns with small clusters of seagrass patches within the nearshore with larger patches offshores according to local fishermen. There is also a coral reef located offshore of the property. The property is considered to be well developed as there are several buildings on the beach, some of which are in need of repairs.
