Coki is definitely a must! Clear pristine water, beautiful white sand, great snorkeling, water sports, delicious local food and drinks! Can get crowded but still worth it! (Get there early!)

Hull Bay is a hidden gem on the north side, a beach where I grew up going to with my family. Great for snorkeling and also has a new restaurant and & bar. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see the fishermen hauling in their catch for the day!

Brewers’ Bay is a great local beach on the south side of the island just minutes from the airport! Great for snorkeling, you are guaranteed to see at least a few turtles and stingrays, among other sea life so don’t forget your snorkel gear! There’s a few food trucks right on the road and you must try a Paté! You can see planes landing and taking off as you sun bathe or while you swim!
