Great beach with amazing snorkeling. If you’re there on a cruise it’s only $5 per person each way. You can rent two chairs and an umbrella for $15. Snorkeling is best off two the left along the rocks and steep rock wall. Great variety of fish. Beach is fabulous with a sandy bottom in most places. Variety of stuff to rent for fun

We enjoyed chairs and an umbrella on our day at Great Bay Beach. Kids and parents enjoyed the calm waters, there were many activities you could do. Mom slipped off for a little shopping. Picked up Subway for an affordable lunch. Neat to watch the water taxis, jet skis and cruise ships in the area.

Hike with us to the top of the hill where you can see the very old slave wall that divides the Dutch side from the French side. The view is panoramic and breath taking. We grow herbs, vegetables, ornamental bushes, a variety of flowers and fruit trees. The nature we share goes past plants. We also have land turtles, chickens and a 5,000-gallon fish tank with tilapia fish.
