This resort is popular for families during summer and holidays otherwise it largely draws couples seeking tranquil, television-free vacations with lots of fresh air, space to be alone, and uncrowned beaches.
The view of the Great House from the beach reminds you of a bygone era.
What I wish I
could change:
Throughout the resort after 6 PM, adult guests are required to dress in resortwear, which for men means long pants and collared shirts for men and skirs, dresses, capri's or long pants for women.
Why YOU should
go:
Known for its spectacular views, Shirley Heights (24.25 km/15 mi away) draws hordes of visitors, especially for Thursday and Sunday barbecues and dancing. Sunday afternoons both visitors and locals go for the barbecue and spectacular sunsets.
