The day opens with a road that carves through dry scrub and limestone cliffs, the Caribbean light flattening the brush and turning the ocean a hard, brilliant turquoise. You arrive first at Kenepa (Grote Knip), where a wide arc of white sand meets clear water that invites a shoulder-deep swim; later the group trickles among palms and volcanic outcrops at Daaibooi and snaps photos at Kokomo’s swing. Between beaches the coach passes the salt pans near St. Willibrordus, where shallow flats sometimes reflect a flock of flamingos like a living watercolor.
