Fortune Beach

Reviewed By carfer - Scotland, United Kingdom

Went here as part of a tour, went to Gold Rock beach first which is heaven on earth, we weren't happy to be leaving to come here but were pleasantly surprised, the water is calm, clear and shallow, you can walk out to the sand bank, excellent beach for kids, there's also the Banana Bay restaurant for snacks, drinks and facilities, a truly beautiful place.

Garden of the Groves

Twelve-acre garden full of tropical plants and animals: one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island.

Reviewed By LynnCheverie - Yellowknife, Canada

I visited the gardens today and spent 3 hours there. The place is spectacular! Sit down , relax and watch the birds and butterflies, visit the chapel, meditate on a bench in the serenity of flowing water and lush vegetation or sit by the pond and watch the turtles, fish and ducklings glide through the water. There is even a really cute outdoor cafe that serves up great tasting meals and cool beverages. My stress melted away in a few short hours. Thoroughly enjoyed!!!
