One reason I chose the AirBnB I did was because of the washing machine, balcony, enough room for Paula and me but also - and maybe of utmost importance - was its closeness to the beach. It’s a quick elevator ride to the JBR Plaza, another short walk to the elevator which goes to the beach level and then a trot across the promenade to the beach.
The water was warm and usually calm. One day it was a little choppier, and it was fun to feel the waves. All kinds of different shells (mostly whole with few broken into pieces) and coral are to be found. Some stones had fossil-like etchings on them. Most (if not all) beach front hotels have cabanas and loungers available. Restaurants/carts are everywhere selling ice cream, mocktails, snacks, etc. There are also souk-like booths selling wares.
The turquoise water reminded me of Bermuda.
We had breakfast here at Eggspectation one morning. It’s a restaurant based in Montreal.
I especially liked the coral.
I taught Paula how to play Honeymoon Bridge. She’s a natural!
The skyscrapers are right there near the beach.
A foot washing station. Bathrooms and showers are also nearby.
Can't believe that you found so many shells and coral with all the hotels and tourists that are in the area. I would think that the beaches are wiped clean.
ReplyDeleteHope you brought a lot of them home!
