Sharing the 1,600 ft. of Pelican Beach with Cormorant

have ceiling fans. They have kitchenettes and cable TVs.
There is a good-sized swimming pool on the grounds.
The
H2O Bistro
near the beach is one of the most popular
dining spots on the island (see

Moderate
A mini-hotel, Cane Bay Reef was totally renovated in 1990.
There are only nine two-room suites, and each has a bed-
room with twin beds, a living room, fully equipped kitchen
and a private terrace. Rooms are air-conditioned, but you
may not need it since ceiling fans and the breeze coming in
over the water keeps things comfortable. Maid service is
available for an extra charge.
The Reef has a 40-ft. pool and Cane Bay Beach, an easy
stroll away, has good swimming and snorkeling. Outdoor
barbecue grills are available for cooking and the bar is open
for Happy Hour from 5-8:30 pm daily. If you prefer not to
cook (and who doesn't), you can head to
Off the Wall Beach
Bar
, which has a spectacular setting overlooking the water.
Dinner, served nightly, features fresh seafood, steak and
pork, plus great desserts.
