Fodor's Expert Review Rendezvous Bay

The island's sole white-sand beach is a perfect cove tucked under a forested cliff whose calm, unspoiled waters are ideal for swimming and offer remarkable snorkeling. It's accessible only via the sea or a steep trail that runs over the bluff to adjacent Little Bay. The hike in takes about an hour; the boat trip, just 10 minutes (you can make arrangements with local fishermen). There are no regular facilities or shade, but its very remoteness and pristine reef teeming with marine life lend this beach exceptional charm. Quan Jo Boat Tours & Camping offers Sunday beach activities, including boat rides and snorkeling, as well as food, music, and tents for shade. Amenities: none. Best for: snorkeling; solitude; swimming.
