    Absolute Paradise! So far on our trip, this is my favorite beach. Made cozy by being tucked in between a U shaped cliff face, this beach is magestic to behold. It is not as busy as some of the other beaches along the south coast of the island. A few locals tend the beach and you can rent beach chairs from them and buy refreshing coconut water from them as well. The waves were rough when we went, so be careful of the undertow after a stormy night.

    Perfect hideaway. Coconut tree's. White sand and even a cave. Tropical Paradise. Beware the aqua blue sea. Not for swimming.
