Chartered a boat from Sun and Sports and went around the island and snorkeled. Fed the Iguanas that came running up to us for food. Spent 850 for a boat for the day for 5 of us with a captain. Worth the money.

Quick Tips:

Snorkel gear is available along with light weight skins at a couple of dive places (Dive Provo) at reasonable prices. It seemed like an expensive island but with three grocery stores we ate at our condo for breakfast and lunch most days. Three good grocery stores near grace beach.

Great spot to relax and enjoy a dinner and a few drinks. Outdoor and dockside views are gorgeous and the people are very friendly. Wednesday night Chicken and Ribs are fantastic and a great price of less than 15 bucks. Goes great with a bucket of beer. Wings are good and Conch Fritters are delightful as well as the cracked Conch. Was a favorite for us.

Fabulous martini bar and restaurant. Lots of exotic drinks to try and the food and atmosphere is wonderful. Great crew working here and they work hard to make sure your time here is pleasant. Had great surf and turf for $32.00 Steaks are very nice for the price and outside dining is fun and not very windy.

Great fritters and delightful ocean side dining. Service a little spotty but fun place to eat some fritters and drink a beer. Lunch sandwiches great too. Cracked Conch was very well prepared.

Attraction

Great place to kick back and eat some hot wings and to cool off in the evening after a day in the sun. Very friendly bar and good crowd.

Beaching FamilyBest of IgoUgo

Story/Tip

The island doesn't have an over abundance of night life, but two hours for dinner and enjoying the stars outside and a few drinks are enough after a busy day. The scenery is almost picture post card anywhere you look. Water and island are just gorgeous. We love the beaches and snorkeling was fantastic in front of Coral Gardens and a couple of other reefs (Smith Reef). By far one the of prettiest islands we have seen and we have been all over the caribbean all the way to Tahiti. We'll go back again. And I have a trip to St Croix in February and Tuscany Italy in May, would enjoy coming here next year.
