Half Moon Bay: Turquoise Crescent Beach Paradise for Surfers and Snorkelers

Half Moon Bay: Turquoise Crescent Beach Paradise for Surfers and Snorkelers

Turquoise waters reminiscent of blue curaçao gently lap against this stunning white crescent beach in a remote southeastern haven. Bodysurfers head to the lively south end, snorkelers to the serene northern waters, and visitors converge at the beach bars for fresh grilled fish lunches and signature rum cocktails.

A new resort under construction on the hillside above the south end could transform this idyllic spot. For adventure, scramble over the bluff at the far end to reach a secluded beach backed by an exclusive villa resort, with panoramic views of uninhabited offshore Smith Island.
