What a beautiful beach! White sand and blue water, so clear you can stand neck-deep and see clearly down to your toes. We stayed in West End and took a water taxi to West Bay ($3 per person each way, or 50 Lp each). There are many resorts that line the beach, and they have beach chairs available to rent,... More

Beautiful sandy beach, crystal clear water, incredible sunsets and the most friendly, wonderful people you'll ever meet. Shopping, snorkeling, diving, zip lining and great food at your finger tips. Shopping-if you are looking for some jewelry that is beautiful, unique and classy see Carlos & Josue. They are set up between Infinity Bay and Bananarama, wonderfully talented young men with... More

We were approached by a young fellow on the beach by Banarama who hooked us up with a lady in the little booth below the maasage spa at Bananarama to do some parasailing. They made us a heck of a deal on a private excursion for 3. The boat has a launch pad on the back and is very fast.... More
