Skeete's bay Fish Market.
Robert Lee wrote a lovely poem about this place, which begins with the words:
One always missed the turning, but found, in time the broken sign that pointed crookedly
This is very true … it’s quite easy to miss the road that leads to Skeetes Bay but keep the map (or GPS) handy and a eye out for the sign and you’ll soon discover this paradise.
Its remoteness is part of the charm of Skeetes Bay; rarely are there more than a handful of people on the beach, especially not on the weekends. During the week it’s a bit more lively as Skeetes Bay is also a small fishing village and you’ll spot the fishermen heading out in their traditional local fishing boats or bringing in the day’s catch to be sold at the market.
Skeetes Bay is a great place to just relax on the benches and enjoy the refreshing breezes of the Tradewinds.
Since this is a bay, the sea is quite calm however you should exercise care when taking a swim as there is no lifeguard on duty. A bit of light boogie boarding or fishing off the jetty is also time well spent at Skeetes Bay.
