A Piece of Paradise

I could not have chosen a friendlier and more beautiful spot for a week's vacation than Pelican Point and the Sandy Beach Resort. Nowhere in my vast travels have I encountered friendlier and more hospitable people. No matter what it is you need or want, everyone's interested in seeing that you're happy and satisfied. It's just amazing!!The cottages at Sandy Beach were built by Steve Laing, the owner, and are nicely done, well appointed, air conditioned and nearly new - a real treat after many of the places that I've been to. I'm a fly fisherman and found bonefish galore right in front of my cottage as well as on many nearby flats. Yes, these fish are wary, but they are catchable with my l largest approaching 9 lbs., although I saw several much larger specimens that eluded me. I had casts to permit as well, but did not hook up. The sand beach in front of the cottages is very nice, the water's quite calm and the swimming is super. The reef is just a short distance off shore and is populated with all sorts of colorful fish. You can kayak to a blue hole that is really cool and home for all manner of creatures. Did I mention the food at SAndy Beach? WOW! If you enjoy conch, fresh fish, lobster and stone crab you will be in heaven. There are local ladies who will gladly cook up incredible fare and deliver it to your cottage at very reasonable prices. I can't wait to get back to Sandy Beach for some true island hospitality, great fishing and fine food. Give this spot a try, you won't be disappointed.
