We decided to switch things up a bit today. The beach wasn’t on our dance card but I definitely wanted to see for myself just what the deal was with Indigo Bay beach and the restaurant there. It’s a lovely setting but not for those with mobility issues.
The roads in are interesting to say the least but they’re mostly paved if very steep and windy. We drove in to the parking area which was loaded with beach goers and late lunchers/early diners. We had to walk from the farthest parking area in and down the sidewalk to the actual restaurant. About half way in I was questioning just how badly we wanted lunch there. So glad we kept going.
The beach is steeply slanted, sort of like the beach at Dreams used to be, and the beach chaises looked very comfy with nice thick mattresses. We didn’t do the beach but they do offer food and beverage service on the beach and while we didn’t try it, I understand the lounges are gratis with meals.
So the best part - lunch! We decided to do our main meal today as lunch and so happy we did. I had some of - if not the very best - sautéed calamari I’ve ever had and my DH had stuffed moules as his appetizer. For our entrees he had the rack of lamb served with freshly steamed veggies and potatoes gratinee and I had their lobster salad plate. Both dinners were excellent and we washed them down with a NA fruit punch which was delish. Dinner (lunch if you will…)came to $125.00 with a 15% sc included and a little extra for the excellent staff who took care of us. This seems to be fast becoming our magic number.
Back to our villa at BSV where we enjoyed a spectacular plane departure sequence of two JBs, one Delta, one AA and best of all, the beautiful and majestic Air France all departing within minutes of each other. I guess you need to be a plane enthusiast to enjoy this and my DH certainly is.
Six o’clock is a somewhat late cocktail hour and now we’re done for the day. No beach, no pool but we did see Whalestail twice in passing today, sadly neither time to get to chat but we’re still hoping for that to happen.
