The shore opens in a single, breath-catching sweep: a broad arc of white sand, coral-tinted shallows, and water that moves from mint to deep lagoon blue as it steps away from your toes. At West Bay Beach, the morning light glances off the reef line and the private-resort loungers sit ready, offering a relaxed base for four hours of sun, salt and short excursions.
