Ten Bay Beach

It was a very windy day yesterday so we want to search for a Caribbean beach that where we could snorkel. We found a great one. But one problem, big jellyfish. So no snorkeling, just walking and a great sunset.

Boxing Day

We decided to head out to seek out a beach that we had not adventured to before. After searching and scratching our way through narrow bad trails that we tried to use and roads, we gave up . I do not think Randy would have enjoyed this beach at this point anyway.

We did stop at Four Points Marina for a Kalik Beer and Conch Sandwiches. Both Island specialities. Conch is the main staple here as well as Kalik.


Conch is in everything. On a previous visit we found a guy who claimed he was the Conch Master. He made great conch salad right in front of you. Much to our dismay we have not been able to find him. But Will would not give up. His fishing guy told him Donavon was still in Tarpum Bay. So when we were driving through Will spotted his new gig. It was not open on Boxing Day, but we will return.

French Leave Beach

Our last adventure for the day was to journey to French Leave Beach. We dropped Will off in Governors Harbor to fish and we took the short trip up the narrow paths to one of the most beautiful beaches. This is a pink sand beach and is amazing.

It was the original Club Med Beach and location of the Club Med Beach Club until Hurricane Floyd damaged the resort in1999. Supposedly it is being redone into the French Leave Resort but we have seen no evidence of this development moving forward.

It is fun to see the ruins of the old resort but the best thing to enjoy is the drop dead gorgeous beach.



PInk Sand.... Views forever....no crowds!






Oh by the way, we tried a place for dinner we have enjoyed dropping into while walking the beach. "The Beach House". We have tried two other times to eat there and had not good results. So this was the third strike. We will never try to have a meal there again. Drinks yes it is lovely, but that is all.

Rainbow Inn

Yesterday afternoon we journeyed north to the Rainbow Bay Area of the Island. It is a great area with wide Caribbean beaches and wild Atlantic beaches on the other side. The island is very narrow here spit is the best of both worlds.
However our mission was to go to the Rainbow Inn and connect with a Bone fisherman Guide for Will. I also knew that this place was now being run by a young couple. They grow all their own organic vegetables, use local caught lobster and fish and have really worked hard to provide a wonderful haven for fisherman and tourists .
It worked Will is out today with a great guide. The person he used before Albert McKinney has passed away. Plus we had a great lunch. They were preparing for a Christmas Eve Festival. So they did not have a menu or really opened but they had fresh fish and lobster and wonderful greens from the garden. They just said what do you like and then they presented us with a culinary treat.
I loved it. We then strolled through the gardens. Good luck to such a great couple working hard and doing it right!!!

The Island Store

Wow what a find!!! Yesterday as we were going to a new beach we saw this local store. I had read about it before but never had gone at the right time. Mondays and Fridays they have fresh bread and wonderful sweet rolls, you must go early. They also had fresh cheeses, greens, pesto, and some fruit. All of this things are very hard to find on this island since there is basically no agricultural community.
This has turned out to be a very good thing for us! There are only a couple grocery stores on the whole island. Christmas Eve they closed early, today nothing is open and tomorrow is Boxing Day, so everything closed for the Junkanoo parades.
Lunch today was toasted rosemary bread with cheese and tomatoes from the Island Farm. Don't feel to sorry for us we are going to a Christmas Dinner at a restaurant on the beach later on. It will be complete with a bonfire on the beach and lots of singing.
Merry Christmas to all
P.S Will is fishing today. So perhaps we will have fish for tomorrow.

Papaw Beach

The exploration of beaches is our favorite thing to do. Yesterday morning we headed towards a Caribbean beach in search of good snorkeling One side of the island is on the Atlantic Ocean and the other the Caribbean Sea.

I have a book "The Elusive Beaches of Eleuthera" I have taken notes on each beach visited. Papaw Bay Beach is one we had not been to before. We did see several star fish and conchs. It had easy safe access all in all a pleasant cove . The best surprise was the farm store we discovered on the way.
