Welcome to the Caribbean's best beach!
Yep, that's right, Shoal Bay East has been hailed by critics and prestigious Caribbean magazines as the Caribbean's #1 beach.
Shoal Bay East is divided into two regions: the upper, eastern half and the lower, western half.
When most people envision Shoal Bay East, they are usually dreaming about this half, the Eastern half where people are either dancing in bars, dining in tasty restaurants, snoozing in hotel rooms or outdoors on chaises, or swimming and snorkeling in the sea.
