I thoroughly enjoyed our stays at Mary's Boon and our 'Boonies for a Day' days there, too, but personally speaking, I think you'll be hard-pressed to find the waves (or lack there-of?) that you're describing for your stay at Mary's Boon. The beaches at Anse Marcel or those along Great Bay, or Baby Beach as already suggested sound to me like they would be more like what you're looking for. All the beaches will have their occasional 'quiet wave days' and we've enjoyed them at Mullet and Friars on many occasions too, but my limited experiences as a visitor is those days are really not the norm on most of the beaches we've experienced and definitely not on Simpson Bay Besch for the most part. We spent our last island week at BSV on Simpson Bay and there were only two or three days that the waves were calm enough for what you're looking for. You could get in and out to swim but you often had to time the waves to go so.

And as an after thought, knowing that not everyone on the beach appreciates someone else's music, I'm sure you enjoy your radio with ear buds, right? Or with a very personal low volume level?

On our most recent trip in April we had several occasions of people arriving and choosing to 'share' their music with any and all in the immediate area. It was NOT appreciated by many and on one occasion in particular, after a young foursome of beachgoers settled in on top of a bunch of us in one of the busier parts of the beach, finally a big guy walked over to the late comers and asked them to please turn down or turn off the radios. We couldn't hear exactly what was said over the pulsating music they were playing, but thankfully, they picked up their things and left shortly thereafter for a more sparsely populated piece of the beach. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
