Right now there is a lot of seaweed on the south facing beaches, Cove, Rendezvous, Maundays, Shoal Bay West.
None on Meads or Shoal Bay East.
Take the public ferry, get a cab, go to Shoal Bay East. Set up at Elodias, they rent chairs, umbrellas and even towels. They also have showers.
I think their lunches are outstanding, but walk the beach, and check out the other places.
Tell your driver when to pick you up for your return to the ferry.
Have a great trip.
