The sun breaks over the Caribbean in a clean arc, and the Money Bar’s wooden deck catches light like a beacon calling you into warm water. From the shore here, the reef drops in gentle terraces—coral fingers and swim-throughs only a short fin-kick away—so your first glimpses of parrotfish and angelfish arrive within minutes. The bar’s chairs and umbrellas offer a comfortable base between snorkeling sessions, and the hum of conversation mixes with waves that seem to dare you into the shallows.
