North Friar's Bay offers a more energetic beach experience compared to its Caribbean-side neighbor. The Atlantic waters bring stronger waves, making it popular for bodysurfing and boogie boarding. The shore is lined with casual beach bars and restaurants where visitors can enjoy local food and drinks. Sunbathers appreciate the wide stretch of sand, while the vibrant atmosphere draws a mix of locals and tourists. It's a great spot for a lively day by the sea.
Don't miss
