Since we are directly on the Atlantic Ocean, it's often quite choppy, and unsuited to leisurely and placid swimming. 5 minute walk east from our beach brings one to Halcyon Bay. This is sheltered by coral and limestone formations, especially at its 2 corners, so that at low tide there are basically 2 huge saltwater swimming baths, surrounded by crashing waves which hardly ruffle its surface. We often swim there, and sometimes snorkel, in complete safety. Here are a couple of recent videos.
