Time left us a bit short, but there was a winding path heading to the east that we guessed would end on the beach next to the 60 ft. Several locals said that the lobstering on the heads around the wreck was very good and that Grouper could be found just beyond the reef.
On your own, snorkel wherever the spirit moves you—any road off the Queen’s Highway leads to another deserted Atlantic beach. Just don’t leave Cat without a sunset picnic at the hermitage on 206-foot Mount Alvernia , the highest point in the Bahamas. Our first dive called Coral Gardens was from the beach a short ride from the resort. Max depth was 20 feet and it was a good place for novice divers to get their first experience. Your family will love a beach vacation in the Turks and Caicos.
Accommodations overlook the pool, a strip of white sand beach, and the aquamarine Exuma Sound beyond. The restaurant serves fresh seafood, including grilled wahoo, Bahamian-style grouper, and succulent conch salad, or you can enjoy a rack of lamb. My husband and I prefer the Big Island because of the diversity of beaches (black, green and white sand) and we can’t resist the lava flow. A small island with beautiful beach and clear water expected us. On the program first a skate and then stood a shark fish feeding.
Just minutes away from this pristine pink sand beach the lots are elevated (40 feet above sea level) with fresh water for a well, and they have phone and electricity. These houses are built to hurricane standards and they are fully insurable. Alvernia and by visiting his tomb you can see from these high cliffs,a marvelous view consisting of forested hills and 60 miles of deserted white and pink sand beaches. Family owned and operated for over 20 years, this remote and rustic hideaway has 6 beachfront villas and 6 beachfront cottages. Come explore, play, relax, read, renew and refresh yourself.
For others, who at times want more activity, Bridgewater on Anna Maria will provide a happy balance of beach, boating, fishing, and close by access to golfing and all of central Florida’s vacation attractions. The real appeal though of the IME Vacation Ownership Group program is that its owners have value for money, a secured property interest and through the internal exchange ability and worldwide Interval International, the freedom of choice. The resort is comprised of twenty beachfront bungalows, each just steps from your own secluded sandy beach. Life at the resort is elegant yet relaxed. Wake up to the sounds of gentle surf and Caribbean trade winds as you plan another day in paradise. Cat Island is an excellent choice for vacationers who are seeking a natural beach experience, and enjoy a peaceful and very laid-back atmosphere. The island can be explored at a leisurely pace, which is a much better way to enjoy the local flora and fauna, as well as to enjoy the local culture.
