Guests simply step off the property’s private terrace, out of the garden gate and onto the beach, where they can immediately hit the shore or dip into the breath-taking, warm Caribbean sea. The beach offers plenty of opportunity to lie back tan, read or nap or you can do the same on a beautiful daybed nook on the property’s private balcony. The water directly opposite is a gathering spot for hawksbill and greenback turtles, on most days you don’t have to swim out far to see and even bathe among them, if you care, or sit on the terrace watching the traffic of yachts, snorkelers and the like attracted by these wonderful wild, yet accommodating, creatures of nature.

Depending on the tide you can walk for miles. Each walk is unique depending in the time of day and surf. On an early morning stroll before those not so fortunate to have the beach right at their gate arrive parts of the deserted scenery are even more breathtaking.
