Tortuga Bay
Edit SpotAbout
Just jump in the water, its warm and the locals are friendly. Make sure you grab a water or some snacks there isn't anything close. The beach is an environmentally protected area, so don't be the pecker who leaves their trash on the beach. Watch out for the bull sharks and sting rays.
