Come explore the coast of Pointe Baptiste. Once a haunt of pirates and smugglers the shoreline has spectacular ocean scapes and a quiet beach. The guest house grounds, includes two beaches, one of white sand about five minutes walk by a path starting in front of the gardens, and the other a black sand beach reached in about the same time by a path leading from the base of the steps to the Main House veranda. The most popular swimming area is the pool between the white sand beach and an island little way off shore. The reefs off Black Beach are good for snorkeling, with many colourful fish.
