Ascension has various sandy beaches, English Bay, Comfortless Cove, Long Beach, North East Bay, Pan Am Beach etc. You can swim at most of these places but be very careful of the undertow at certain places. Ask around to locals about which places are safest to swim/dive/snorkel.
Also at the right time of year you can go to the beaches at night to see the Green Turtles come in from Brazil to lay their eggs. (please speak to the conservation office about Turtle Tours).

There are loads of fishing spots to go to, from the Pierhead, to the rocks on the sea.
