You step off Bay Street into warm salt air, small boats chattering at the marina and a speedboat cutting the harbor with a white wake. Within 20–40 minutes a private sandbar opens up: a crescent of pale coral sand, turquoise water shallow enough to wade, and curious pigs paddling toward shore as if they own the day. The scene feels immediate—salt on your lips, rum punch in hand, laughter from a beach volleyball game—and practical comforts nearby: shaded lounge chairs, kayaks stacked at the waterline, and a guide keeping the rhythm of the visit.
