Fodor's Expert Review Foxes Bay

The ravages of volcanic ash and hurricanes are visible at this deserted taupe crescent: a former bird sanctuary and mangrove swamp with denuded tree trunks and the ruin of a former Rotary Club refreshment booth. The beach lacks facilities and shade. Plans perennially call for rebuilding the coastal main road, but for now the only access is via the old Belham Valley Road. After years of being off-limits, it's now listed as Zone C (accessible, but check daily). Amenities: none. Best for: solitude.
