Reached by a short dirt road. This long sweep of beach, and adjacent Pond Bay, may have a few people or none at all. There is said to be excellent snorkeling—for able swimmers only—along the outer edge of the reef. Others can find things to see around the rocks at each end of the beach. A fabulous Caribbean beach

Quiet, remote beach north of Savannah Bay. Vivid blue waters, gentle sandy curves and ideal for snorkeling with no currents, no jellyfish and rich marine fauna.
Sheltered in a cove and protected by reefs, Little Dix often has the calmest water of any of the beaches. This long sandy crescent is accessed through Rosewood Little Dix Bay Resort. Don't be bashful--all beaches are public and the resort really does cordially welcome visitors. At the gate house, a friendly security officer will remind you not to use the facilities and direct you to the parking lot.
An observation tower offers views of the whole island with its beaches, coves, reefs, offshore islands and blue water. The peak is over 410 m (1350 ft) but most of the climb is made by road. The first trailhead (coming from the south) leads to a longer route (55 minutes) with more vertical climb. The next one is shorter but steeper. Either climb can be made by anyone in average condition with ordinary shoes. Bring water.
The ruins are nicely maintained, with picnic tables and plantings, but no interpretive information. Worth a few minutes en route to Long Bay or Hog Heaven.
