The Peninsula is a narrow strip of land that divides two bodies of water; the Atlantic on the left side and the Caribbean on the right side, you have to see it to believe it. From the hill, you can also see the Frigate Bay Valley with beautiful homes jotting out of the hill, golf course stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Sea and the coconut palms waving in the sun.

Onwards to the beach where you can splash in the warm and crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. Activities at the beach include water sports such as snorkeling, water skiing, sailing and much more. For those who just want to sit back and relax, all the amenities are available at the beach: bathroom, change room, beach chairs, umbrellas, restaurant, Beach bars and much, much more.

We visit beaches such as Friars Bay (Carambola Beach Club), Ship Wreck, or Cockleshell, depending on the situation at Friar's Bay which is our first choice. If the beach is overcrowded, we go to another beach in order to accommodate our guests.
