We mentioned beach combing. To the right is a picture of the stairs leading to the coral pink beach. Need a closer view?  Check out the picture below.  And, no, the photo has not been airbrushed!

Do you like to fish? You can fish from shore or you can charter a boat in Hatchet Bay like the folks in the picture below.

You say you can’t tell how wide the beach is?  Check out the shot below.  Also, see that dark spot in the water just to the right of the man’s head? That’s a coral reef just waiting to be explored, so bring your mask and flippers!

The grounds are a five-acre palm estate and are conducive to walking around enjoying all the beauty nature has to offer.
