Great cove -pity about Patricia’s beach shack
Great cove, lovely clear sea. A bit of a rocky incline to get in the sea but easier in some areas. We took a shared taxi from Sophers Hole, $12 per person regardless of number of passengers and rented a couple of beach beds and a brolly from Patricia’s. The food and drinks on offer were a bit of a rip off, $12.50 fir a cocktail, $18 for a small fish sandwich and $5 for a small handful of fries cooked in old fat - a pity as location was amazing. Go but take your own refreshments and snacks

Beautiful quiet beach
Visited here to try the snorkelling. The snorkelling was not really worth the trip, it is recovering from Irma, but not masses of coral or fish to currently see. Decided to rent a sunbed and chill for the day. Beach was quiet, beautiful with 2 low key (i.e. not pumping out music) bars. Despite being there when a cruise ship was in, it was not busy with the only cruise shippers arriving via taxi (and I think only 2 small groups were from the cruise ship). The road to the cove is not tarmacadam and bumpy but accessible via a normal 2 wheel drive. It was not busy so you can drive at your own pace. Worth a trip even if the snorkeling was not that good. Posted a few pics to show the reef.
