Fodor's Expert Review Jolly Hall Beach

A curve of sparkling white sand shaded by casuarina trees, this long beach is located just north of Hideaways at Palm Bay. It's quiet, and the shallow azure water makes it a great spot for families or romantics. When it's time for lunch, walk over to Hideways or Augusta Bay, two nearby boutique hotels. Watch your bags when high tide comes in; much of the beach is swallowed by the sea. That's the signal for a cold Kalik and a grouper sandwich. Amenities: none. Best for: solitude; sunrise; swimming; snorkeling.
