The lady at the tourist information office recommended a detour from our journey to a small beach called Coral Bay. We thought we would take a look at the beach and maybe stay for a couple of hours for a swim, but it's really beautiful and we have checked onto a campsite for 4 nights! It is the nicest beach we've seen with white sand, warm turquoise water and coral you can snorkel to from the beach. We've seen shoals of fish in the coral and brightly coloured tropical fish. And we've fed some massive fish that swim around your legs while you're paddling. The weather is brilliant, it's really hot in the day, but is fine in the shade and it cools down nicely at night so it's comfortable to sleep. And the seafood and cold beer is excellent!
One night we walked right around the bay to the next beach. We sat and watched the sunset on the deserted beach and waited for it to get dark in the hope that we could see turtles. It got pitch black with no moon at all, so we couldn't see a thing! We gave it up as a bad job and it took us the better part of an hour to walk the 4km back to Coral Bay as we didn't have a torch!
