More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun hits the water first, turning a ridge of Caribbean into a bright, restless path as the van pulls up to the first stretch of sand. You step out to a shoreline where music, vendors, and salt-scented wind compete for attention — Doctor’s Cave on one stop, the broad sweep of the second-largest public beach on the next. The day is less about a single place and more about movement: swim, snorkel, or trade one beach’s party pulse for another’s local rhythm.
