Orient - it's close to where we stay & we usually have friends there.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Currently Mullet Bay until Simpson Bay gets straightened out. What's wrong with Simpson Bay JD? Missing a lot of sand in areas with rock ledges exposed that are usually covered. Walking from Horny Toad towards the bridge, there are areas the water is up to the seawall and going the other way, Karakter had a big gully in front of the restaurant and a big drop off directly in front of the restaurant, leaving the stairs about 4' above the sand. According to Debbie here at Horny Toad, one of the recent storms took about 6' of sand off the beach and exposed the rock ledges that are usually covered. Some pretty big wave action here most of the days since our arrival.

Swam at Boon yesterday and none of that to be found. Past few months it's been pretty rough, but sand came back finally.

Orient Beach, as we stay there, and walk the entire beach every morning at sunrise, then get breakfast and hit the loungers for the day.

It was fun to see all the different beaches mentioned here. Even though we LOVE staying on Simpson Bay, the water is usually too rough for me. I love love the water at Mullet when it is calm--usually the bluest and you can see your feet it is so clear. The food (Rosie's) and people watching is fun too!

Lots of votes for Simpson Bay Beach, but I don’t see it on TripAdvisor. Where would be a good place to go with access to chairs and, optionally, a restaurant? There's Mary's Boon, Karacters, and El Zafaro all on Simpson Bay Beach.
