Smuggler’s Cove

Near the island’s northwestern tip, Smuggler’s is a gorgeous patch of sand that is lightly trod compared to its neighbors, as access is via a crazy-narrow, pothole-cratered road. That said, cruise-ship groups do make their way here on occasion. Nigel's snack stand sells beer and rents beach chairs. The only other amenity is a portable bathroom. Snorkeling is fair.
