Diamond Cay beach

We stumbled upon this wonderful little spot in April 2023. We hadn't intended to visit bubbly pool, but we ended up anchoring here and couldn't resist giving it a try! We had previously enjoyed a delicious lunch here and were pleased with our meals. The cocktails were also quite good. It's a peaceful place to spend the night on the moorings as well!
