Imagine this ....
A white powder sand beach, covered in Casuerina trees and a few palms. Under them sits a beach bar called Chat n Chill, filled with t-shirts people have contributed with their boat names and bits of ironic humor. The area is surrounded by picnic tables, around which are people eating, drinking, playing cards or chess. Nearby, kids are swinging from ropes attached to the trees, and others are digging in the sand, or cracking open coconuts with small machetes.
Partway along the beach, there's a jam session happening, with all kinds of instruments, and a little further away, there's a ukulele lesson in progress. Still further along, there's a conch hut where fresh conch salads are being deftly produced by Rinaldo, who dives for the conch on calm days.
A game of beach volleyball is underway in another area, and a beach yoga class has just ended.
The sky is a perfect cerulean blue, and the sea is turquoise, with dinghies tied up and boats anchored all along the shore. Sting rays are gathering to eat the conch innards being tossed into the water by Rinaldo, and they rub up against delighted swimmers like pet cats.
This is the scene we encounter every day as we visit Volleyball Beach for one reason or another. Certainly hard to be bored here!
