Beaches

Secret Harbor Beach

Secret Harbor might be a small beach, but it is the perfect beach. Snorkeling, swimming, parasailing, name it, this beach provides it. It is hidden in a protected bay, so the water is always calm and perfect for families. The Palm trees at the shore are the perfect shade for beachgoers, and the suspended hammocks are perfect for relaxing or taking pictures. In the middle of the bay, a floating raft adds to the excitement of this beach.  It serves as a place to sunbathe or as a diving board. Secret Harbor has a restaurant and a beach bar that provides yummy food all year long.
