Get up close and personal with some marine life as you bask in the sun at Balmoral Island. Featuring water as clear as a teardrop, the beach has a reputation as a great snorkeling location. Head to the wooden pier, which sits just off shore, and view dolphins and stingrays from up above, or plunge into the pool to get up close and personal with the majestic creatures. Find beach umbrellas, which provide ample shade from the sun, lining the pristine white sand. Head to one of the nearby bars for a refreshing drink.

    Fun for snorkeling! Sea turtles on the far side of the island, although a rocky beach on that side as well. Restaurant is good and there is a bar and pool as well. Fun afternoon!
