Fodor's Expert Review Paradise Beach

This long, narrow stretch of beautiful sandy beach in L'Esterre, between Hillsborough and Tyrell Bay, has calm, clear, inviting water. Popular with local folks on weekends, it's very quiet—often deserted—at other times. The Hardwood Bar, at the southern end of the parking lot, serves local specialties for lunch. Amenities: food and drink; parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: snorkeling; swimming; walking.
