- Mangrove Boardwalk: A winding wooden boardwalk through dense red and black mangroves — perfect for easy birdwatching and spotting juvenile fish and crabs in the roots. Quiet, shady and great at golden hour for photos without a long hike.
- Barker’s Bluff Lookout: Short but steep trail up to a rocky promontory with sweeping views of the coastline and open ocean. Windy, dramatic and worth the puffing; you’ll often see frigatebirds circling and tiny boats far below.
- Crystal Cay Beach: A small, sheltered white-sand cove with surprisingly clear water for snorkeling right off the shore. Lots of reef life in shallow patches — think parrotfish, wrasse and the occasional turtle bobbing by.
- Blue Sinkhole: A freshwater sinkhole with striking deep-blue water and steep limestone walls. It’s a cool spot

- Blue Sinkhole: A freshwater sinkhole with striking deep-blue water and steep limestone walls. It’s a cool spot to sit, swim (where permitted) and watch how the light plays off the pool; geology fans love it.
- Dry Forest Trail: A kilometer-plus loop through native dry forest and limestone outcrops. Birdsong, lizards on the path and fragrant scrub — good for a morning hike when it’s cooler and mosquitoes are fewer.
- Seabird Rookery & Turtle Nesting Beach: Seasonal hotspot where coastal birds nest and sea turtles come ashore at night. Respect the signs and keep your distance — seeing hatchlings (from a safe, guided viewpoint) is unforgettable.
