The postcard view of the Isle of Pines: a natural pool of clear turquoise water, separated from the ocean by rocks and ringed by columnar pines. You wade across a stream to reach it; snorkelling among tropical fish. Come in the morning, before the cruise passengers.

Risks. Slippery rocks; do not go beyond the rocks on the ocean side.
