Beach conditions change quickly, so if you are not coming this week, they could be completely different whenever you come. At the moment there is quite a step down to get into the water at Orient. Not too bad getting in, but difficult to get out at times!!!

Close to you will be Mullet, which SOMETIMES has a totally flat walk in area and SOMETIMES has a cliff. Dreams (Nettle Bay) usually is flat, but sometimes not. Generally Simpson Bay beach is flat, but again, there is no sure thing. Carol Hill
