Botany Bay


 


Made it to Botany Bay today. We went to Mermaids Chair. It's a really cool beach and we had it to ourselves most of the day. The down side is you have to park at the guard shack at the entrance of Botany Bay and walk about 2 miles down to the beach.



The walk down is not bad, nice paved roads...





but the walk up.....OMG. Thankfully a guy in a truck leaving one of the building sites stopped and gave us a ride up. The views were spectacular, especially with the north swells, the waves were wild!



A big storm looked like it was going to move in, but it blew over and all was well.



I like the beach and the remoteness, so I'd like to go again. But I think I'll wait until the boat is ready and go by water instead of walking that hill!! :-)

Their promise of 'public access' to the beach is a 2 mile walk -- it is an insult to the people of the VI and the Govt. should revoke all their development permits.
