We heard from various locals that Smuggler's Cove was the most beautiful beach on the island. In my opinion, they weren't kidding! The half-moon sweep of beach is total perfection, offering views to Jost Van Dyle and a large, shallow reef for snorkeling. There is a small beach bar that sells snacks and beverage and rents chairs and snorkel equipment. Adventurous visitors will find Smuggler's Cove well worth the effort! We had a BRILLIANT time, especially since we had the whole beach to ourselves for about 2 hours.${QuickSuggestions} Try to go earlier in the morning. Those in-the-know show up well before lunch, when the smallish beach can begin to feel crowded!${BestWay} There are only two (rather precarious) roads to access the beach, making Smuggler's Cove quite off the beaten track. Make sure you have a solid car for this journey, because you will either be four-wheeling it up and down a STEEP dirt road near the Jolly Roger or along a 2-mile, very narrow dirt road from Long Bay Beach. We took the Long Bay route because, though a bit longer, it was seemingly safer, with breathtaking views from a ridge road. The bumpy road is narrow, but you can't really go more than a few miles per hour because of the holes.
