Beaches

There are so many things to do on this island. We have meet some great people and everyone always has suggestions on what to do. The second night we were here we went to the Divi Carina Bay resort to the crab races. So how this works is you pick out a hermit crab for $2 each ( the kids had 3 each and Terry and I had 2), then you name them. Tito ( the guy running the races) puts the name on a piece of tape on the shell. After everyone has picked out their carbs, they are put in a bucket in the center of a chalk circle. Next the bucket is turned over and the crabs are released. The first couple of crabs over the line wins. Guess who won... Kaleb and I both. Kaleb won a two miniature gulf games and a jeep excursion and I won a kayak tour. It was really fun. It was by the beach, music was playing and everyone was cheering their crab on. Unfortunately I forgot my phone so no pictures, but when we go again I'll take some.

The next day we went beach exploring. We went to the resorts by our condo to see what they were like. Every beach on the island is a public beach, so you can just go to a resort, walk through their lobby and get on the beach. The first one we went to was Chenay Bay.

 

It was a small little beach where they do a lot of kite surfing and paddle surfing.

 

Next we went to the Tamarind Reef Resort. This resort was by a marina, so there was a lot of boats there. It was a very rocky beach but they had hammocks and that was good enough for Kaleb and Terry

 

After the Tamarind is the beach at The Buccaneer. It is one of the biggest and most popular resorts on the island. It is a beautiful beach. We actually went back the other night to listen to some music. We were going to eat but it was way to expensive.

There were also fire dancers

There is also a beach that we can walk to that is very secluded and very rocky but it would be nice if we just want to go sit on the beach and not have to drive anywhere.

So these are just the beaches down the road from us. There other awesome beaches but I'll talk about those in other posts.
