and speaking of safety, one thing i find amazing in all beaches around provo, is how no one gets in the sand with their flip flops on – every beach you go, you will find sandals and flip flops by the entrance (you will know how busy the beach is too!).

i remember being one of the first things i noticed when i first arrived – you can really trust that your flip flops will still be there when you leave the beach. i haven’t seen this any where else!

also, i love the fact that everyone says hi and smiles at you, do you have this in other beaches? it’s kind of, oh we’re at the same beach, so we have this in common, let me say hi! i think it’s kind of nice.

almost a year ago, when james’ cousin peter came over to visit, we found this perfect place to go for a quick dive. the access isn’t easy, and we just found it by chance, in the middle of nowhere.

since then we haven’t been able to go back, because whenever we tried, the sea was very rough and impossible to get in the water with all the rocks. so when my mum and sister came over we gave it another try.

it was so quiet and calm and the water perfect, there we loads of little fish swimming around us – and so peaceful.

it’s not the perfect place to go snorkeling, as there isn’t much to see, but it’s the perfect place to stay in the water and chat all afternoon!

i’m all into white sandy beaches, but there is something about this rocky one that i love – it reminds me of the mediterranean and it’s nice for a change.

my mum and sister have left, and the house feels somewhat empty, but the time they spend here was amazing. i have to confess i was a little scared that they would get bored and two weeks could be too long for provo. we ended having things to do every day and still a few that we didn’t manage to fit in.

remember this post? we went to more than 10 different beaches – blue hills, blue mountain, smith’s reef, the bight, coral gardens, grace bay, pelican, emerald point, long bay, turtle tail, sapodilla, and parrot cay!

i have some serious-relaxing-at-the-beach planned for this weekend – and tonight i am going to see men are from turks, women are from caicos, if you’re in provo, be sure not to miss it.
