Now that you’ve arrived to paradise, it’s time to visit the most beautiful beaches in Providencia. It’s not a bad idea to start with the celebrated South West Bay, the most extensive beach on the island. If you seek a sanctuary of peace, here you will find it. South West Bay is one of the first images you’ll have of total tranquility: a fist of wooden houses hides behind a kingdom of palm trees that border a beach of sun-painted sand; a colorful sea with a mirrored surface is an anchor for small fishing boats.
You might see someone in the distance, walking along the beach.
From end-to-end the beach provides you with a phenomenal panorama. In the north part of South West Bay, vegetation characteristic of Providencia, stretches along the length of the coast, ideal for those who want to take a walk between the sea and sand while listening to the orchestra of the breeze that sings through the leaves of the high coconut palms. On the south, almost in the sea, you’ll find delicious restaurants that specialize in island cuisine as well as two simple, beautiful hotels (Miss Mary and Hotel Sirius).
Enjoying the calm waters and impressive view, no doubt you’ll want to stay longer. Stay in one of the two hotels. And, as for food, don’t worry as the neighboring restaurants offer the best island flavors – seafood to satisfy all your cravings and the most demanding palates. And here there’s no such thing as low-calorie and diet, as the temptation of the banquet and generous, economical portions, as well as the variety of dishes, is too much to resist.
Because of all of this, you have no choice but to give yourself up to a deserved rest, enjoy the splendor of South West Bay, dine with the freshest seafood from the ocean, and all the while, relax to the dance of the sea that courts the golden beach. And now, indulging your taste buds with excellent food, your eyes with a view, and the sounds of the sea, and your skin with the caresses of the Caribbean sun, prepare yourself for a race horse! Yes, a race horse with experienced jockeys. We’ll go to the coast and enjoy a spectacle of muscle and speed with a backdrop of a seven-colored sea.
And if that hasn’t satiated all your needs, when the sun sets and the moon is on the rise, another phenomenal round of activities begins in the bay. Enjoy an exquisite cocktail with a campfire. Gaze up at the Milky Way, its splendor, like you’ve never seen before.
