YUP ..One can swim at Mont Vernon ...the wind and surf have been up for the past 4 weeks and lots of people are in the water here... but one can easily walk to the other end of the beach ....about 20 minute walk and swim at the far end of the Club Orient beach where surf is much more gentle.

You can get fruit at Leader Price, Hope Market, and Petit Casino (all within a 20-25 walk or 5-8 minute drive).... none of them have all types of fruits every day ..but there is choice over several days. Also ... if you have a car, stop at one of the road-side stands.

Lots of interior renovation going on here, security is 24/7 ... oh ...and by the way ..one of the "rough spots" on the road at the corner in front of Residence Orient Bay is being dug out and rebuilt ..should be finished by the time you come.

A further note, we have been told by the Condominium Board that the budget has been passed ... and contracts are being signed for major work.
