Hello from St. Thomas dear readers! Over the past 26 days we have gone to many places and seen many sites. There have been many lovely beaches to visit so we have come up with our two favorites to talk about.
On Middle Caicos, at the recommendation of our buddy Val, we visited Mudjin Harbour. This is privately owned beach front property that the owners have created a nice pathway to and allow the general public to enjoy. It is a gorgeous beach with beautiful water and really cool cave on the beach. To reach one cave you walk down the sandy path right onto the beach and it resembles a bandshell. One path will lead you to the other cave... the path disappears down into stairs that take you on a short spelunking trek into a cave ending at another set of stairs still inside the cave that lead to the beach. This lovely beach is our runner up for best beach.
The vote for best beach goes to Eleuthera's Lighthouse Beach. This area in the south end of the island south of Bannerman Town is in danger of being horribly developed. This is such a great natural resource that people in Eleuthera are trying to purchase the property and make available for public passive recreational enjoyment. It is quite a journey down a not-so-good road. Once parked, it is a little climb to the remains of the centuries-old lighthouse. And once you are there on the hill, you look out towards the water after checking out the historic lighthouse..... Wow! It is breath-taking. Gorgeous turquoise as well as other hues of blue water and cliffs are the first things that grab you. It is an easy scramble down a path to enjoy the cliffs and vistas. It's a bit trickier to scramble down to the beach but well worth it. The caves, pink sand beach, water and cliffs all blend so well together to create an orgasmic experience not to be missed. Come on out to enjoy this wondrous locale and support and help protect it for all to enjoy.
PS. Currently there aren't many who visit this beach, so a nice picnic and skinny dip is still possible! ;-)
As always in awe of all I get to experience, VTT BQ
