Beautiful beach and swimming with turtles. You'll need to find a boat to get there. Not sure who offers a trip there these days.

Thanks. Very interesting history.
It seems some of the folk who left Eroupe to come to the New World were very eccentric folk. (King of Tintamarre and Mary of Marys Boon). I can imagine if I was alive back then I would have been one of those scared to venture across the seas to the unknown.
I think Tintamarre Island may be fun to visit with a group of poeple.

Appreciated the photos. So one can find ruins of the 'kingdom'. And of the aircrafts.
Do you have any photos of the beach?

Do you have any photos of the beach? Tammy, I do not have any beach photos. The few times that I have been on Tintamarre the beach was fairly full so wanted to respect people's privacy. There are pictures available using Google. I am attaching a screen capture to show locations of some of the photos. The large red circle is the red-roofed building, the smaller red circle is the concrete structure with stairs. I believe that was the airport terminal building. The red lines show the old runway. The motors were near the terminal, the wreckage was off in the nearby scrub. The green line is the path I took. Plan on a one hour leisurely roundtrip. Shoes are necessary as there are thistles. It's interesting to explore -- I'd like to spend more time. If you take the hike, bring water and don't do it alone. The shoreline trees are tall and you can lose orientation as to west & south. Also I noticed some mattresses in the red-roofed building -- don't know if there are active squatters on the island.
