User reviews
"The beach at Pillory is absolutely stunning! If you happen to be on a cruise, be sure to head over to the van/taxi area and pay the fee to visit this beautiful spot. The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkeling. I was amazed by the variety of fish I saw while exploring the area. Additionally, unlike the seaweed near the cruise port, there is none to be found here."

"During our cruise, we had the pleasure of visiting a serene beach that was almost deserted. It was effortless to locate a spot to relax under the shade and relish the stunning scenery of the beach and crystal-clear water. However, the only drawback was the lack of any nearby eateries or refreshment stands."
