Beaches
Kas Abou
Kas Abou in Banda Abou is a white, sandy beach with palm trees and sunshades. Ideal for swimmers, divers and snorkelers.
Lagun
This beach has a picturesque atmosphere due to the fishing boats winging in the water. The water is very calm and shallow near the shore which makes for excellent snorkeling. Large shade structures and manchineel trees provide ample shade.
Boka St. Michiel
A traditional fishing village just west of town where you can explore the salt marsh or climb a trail that runs up the hill to the west of the beach.
Santa Cruz
This beach has a decidedly different look, compared to its neighbors, with an exceptionally wide, sandy beach, dotted with towering palm trees. The thickly wooded inland lagoons are excellent for bird watching.
Jeremi
The best time to visit this narrow, picturesque cove is late in the day when you can fully appreciate the exceptionally clear waters without minding the lack of shade.
Barbara Beach
This is a large, sandy beach, which shapes the entrance of the Spanish Water.
