Just try to find the 'six cross road' in the southern part of the island and there it is marked how to drive. If you acces the beach via the hotel you'll be charged 5 BBD (2.5 EUR) but you'll get a drink. Elseway just drive a bit further and there you can acces the beach for free via the rocks.

- Private beach
This spot isn't good for surfing, just for boogie boarders who like to eat sand...
Atmosphere
