Morgan Lewis beach

8 Mierdebma

Nestled on the rugged side of the island lies an isolated beach that exudes a wild and untamed vibe. As you stroll along the shoreline, you may encounter a few curious goats roaming about. The seclusion of this beach ensures that you'll have the entire area to yourself, just as we did during our visit. However, it's important to note that swimming is not recommended due to the strong currents that could sweep you out to sea. As I gazed out at the stunning scenery, I couldn't help but wish that my furry companion was by my side to enjoy this perfect spot for a game of frisbee or a peaceful stroll. The sound of the crashing waves is so thunderous that you'll find yourself lost in its rhythm, making it difficult to carry on a conversation.
