The Peak Forestry Reserve

Reviewed By billingshope - Astoria, United States

Our guide Leonardo gave us a wonderful introduction to the medicinal plants along the route to the Peak, and treated us to great stories of island residents past and present (including a couple of German soldiers who set up a homestead that eventually failed in the area of the park). Get to the top and you'll see all the fabulous shades of blue in the tranquil seas of Providence, which has thankfully preserved its rustic ways.

Cayo Rocoso

Reviewed By I9617QLharryh - Jacksonville Beach, United States

Wade out to this little island in crystal clear water and sugar white sand - takes about 15 minutes and then reward yourself with an ice cold beer, rum drink, or tasty Coco Loco !

Playa de San Luis

Reviewed By Nicorr88 - Cali, Colombia

The san luis beach is a bit more off the grid than the main beaches since its on the other side of the island so you can get a bit more privacy here. The beaches are always white and the water has different tones of blue. This place is great for picture taking and getting into the water.

Playa de Spratt Bight

Very nice beach with shaded cabanas and near bathrooms. Right off the boardwalk. Close to restaurants.

Morgan's Head

Reviewed By H4983ZEjohnm - Vancouver, Canada

Some good snorkelling from the beach, saw a baby ray and a barracuda + lots of tropical fishies. We hiked out to Morgan's head but access to the water is quite limited when you arrive there.
