Fodor's Review:

Funky beach huts selling local foods like meat pates (fried turnovers with a spicy ground-beef filling), picnic tables topped with umbrellas sporting beverage logos, and a brigade of hair braiders and taxi men give this beach overlooking picturesque Thatch Cay a Coney Island feel. But this is the best place on the island to snorkel and scuba dive. Fish, including grunts, snappers, and wrasses, are like an effervescent cloud you can wave your hand through. Ashore you can find conveniences like restrooms, changing facilities, mask and fin rentals, and even fish food.

Reviewed by pennypincherman from Charleston, WV on 10/2/08
Beach and water are great - really beautiful at sunset. However, no idea how this place is a Fodor's choice, since Magen's Bay beach is far superior. If you have two days, you could do both, but if you only have one day - defintely choose Magen's Bay! The "restrooms/changerooms" here are a disaster - nasty, no place to sit, and lots of mosquitos. Put that with the feeling that our stuff was not safe here... we wanted to leave. But once we had a few drinks and got in the water - we forgot about the shortcomings.
