Acceder a esta hermosa playa es pan comido si te diriges a través del Ti Kaye Resort. Una mera tarifa de entrada de $10 por persona, que se puede utilizar como créditos en el restaurante, te otorgará acceso para estacionar tu vehículo justo al lado de la orilla. La comida y las bebidas servidas aquí son de excelente calidad, y las oportunidades de snorkel son simplemente impresionantes. Para la experiencia de snorkel definitiva, dirígete hacia el lado norte de la playa. Esta playa es una joya escondida, aislada y pacífica, lo que te permite disfrutar de la serenidad del lugar, con apenas otros visitantes alrededor.
A lovely beach with amazing snorkeling opportunities, lots of coral and fish!
However - this beach is let down by the aggressive kayak salespeople who simply do not leave you alone. As I walked on to the beach they immediately began calling me over, and I politely declined. Some men then approached me on the beach offering to take me snorkeling, I again declined despite their persistence. Then, as I entered the water, a man on a kayak blocked my way, first asking me lots of questions about my visit to St Lucia, then he started the aggressive sales tactics, telling me I needed a guide to snorkel, trying to tell me that I wasn't capable of seeing everything myself. I tried to access the water but he kept his kayak positioned in front of me. His sales tactics became more and more forceful despite my numerous objections. Thankfully, a tourist boat came in and he was distracted by the other visitors so I got to snorkel in peace eventually. I'm all for supporting local businesses, however, this guy and his 'colleagues' need to take no for an answer and let people enjoy the beach. It was especially worrying that he kept asking me how I got to the beach and when I said that I drove he seemed very interested in the fact that I'd came by car. I'd hidden my keys under a rock on the beach and Thankfully parked my car in the hotel private parking lot ($10 for parking) so it was safe.
I wouldn't mind at all if he tried his sales then went away when I said no, but the aggressive sales tactics made me very uncomfortable.
5 stars for the beach 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
0 stars for the kayak salespeople
