Sorry, no new posts for a couple of days, 5 hours on a snorkel/sailing tour and parts of me did not get info suntan lotion. Burnt, burnt burnt! Staying inside for a few days. Debbie
Sandy Bay takes up a lot of area on the west side of the island. Part of that includes the exclusive subdivision of Lawson Rock. They have a condo building with a deli/market inside.
