Make a day of it

Everything within reach of the sand

  • Stay on the right coast

    West for calm, east for surf. Hotels, villas and guesthouses matched to conditions.

  • Get on the water

    Catamaran cruises, turtle snorkels and dive sites — vetted operators only.

  • Eat where the locals do

    Beach bars, fish fry and rum shops a short walk from each beach.
