It boasts crystal clear blue water and a two mile long stretch of sandy white beach (one of the longest in the Caribbean). This beach is typically not crowded, it’s likely that you’ll be one of the only ones there. This beach is only open on the weekends (including holiday weekends) and when there is a cruise ship in port, with the exception of April-August when it is closed entirely due to turtle nesting season.

Engineered and constructed by the same contractors as the Ohio State Reformatory, it was the home to Peters’ wholesale grocery distribution center up until the mid 1970’s. The 50,000sq.ft. warehouse was built in order for The Bissman Company to expand its flourishing business. The Bissman Company supplied Mansfield and the surrounding area with a broad variety of grocery products including Bissman’s Red Band Coffee, hand rolled Cuban cigars, private labeled canned goods, and a wide array of alcoholic beverages. It was a landmark the day it opened and remains today, a lasting treasure to the community
