) to the beach that pops up en route
via the spur path (about 450 yards), and you won't have to swim as far.
Haulover Bay
SNORKELING BEACH
You have to hike into this beach via a trail off hilly East End Rd, about 3 miles east of
Coral Bay. The beach is gravelly and exposed, and the swells can make for a rough entry
and cloudy visibility. But if you come on a calm day, you will find fish-rich snorkeling on
the reef and coral heads - with no one else in sight and a superb view of the BVI to the
east.

On a cliff above Drunk Bay, Concordia's 'tents' are probably the most imaginative and en-
vironmentally sensitive accommodations on the island. Maho Bay Camps' developer, Stan-
ley Selengut, has taken his eco-tent concept and pumped it up. Concordia has more than 25
'tent-cottages' on stilts, strung together by boardwalks up the steep hillside like at Maho.
