You don't have to access Happy Bay from Friar's Bay....As you pass Grand Case on your right (just past the PO and basketball courts, you will see a sign for Laverie Blanc Bleu Laundry). Turn right and go to the end of the road. You will see a large white gate (don't pass thru if it is open. Gendarme have key and it's locked most of the time, so you don't want to get locked in.) On your right as you are looking at the gate is parking. Take the path between the gate and parking. Follow it about 50 feet in and bear to your left. You will see a place to climb over a small opening in the wall. Follow the paved road until you come to several abandoned villas. Take the path in front of you between the villas and head straight until you reach the ocean. No climbing. Takes about 15 mins, but much easier than going over the hill.
