Double Reef Beach

This past weekend I finally found the elusive double reef beach.  In order to get there you basically have to walk through jungle following tape markers that past people put on trees to guide you. It was a good 45 minute hike and it was a lot of fun. The only part that made me a little nervous was crossing the "limestone forest" which is essentially a bunch of algae covered rock. I took a picture this time!

Yeah... I walked on that. There were a few times I thought I was gonna trip and die but I somehow managed to get through.

Eventually on the path there is point where one direction takes you to Tweed's cave and the other to Double Reef beach.  We didnt go to Tweed's cave but since I now know where it is you can expect an update relatively soon. Anyway, after going through the jungle we popped out on this tiny strip of secluded beach.

We set up camp and I got out my snorkeling gear.  I heard that Double reef had the best snorkeling on island and they were telling the truth.  Basically the beach has two reefs and between them is a good 30-40 feet deep area.  It was crazy to be skimming across the first reef and then suddenly there is a straight drop where you are looking down at fields of coral and schools of fish. Unfortunately I don't have an underwater camera so you will just have to settle for these other two pictures I took of the beach.

I only snorkeled for a short time because I didn't want to completely exhaust myself and not be able to make it back.  It also rained the entire time I was swimming so I was completely soaking wet for the hike back.

Short post, but I did go to a place called Tarzan Falls this weekend which was pretty neat. I will update the blog soon with that one. Lastly, here is a picture of David with a Chamarro Elvis.
