I was really excited to get here because Mummy and Daddy had talked about this bay as they had said it was their favourite beach last time they were in the Caribbean. Salt Whistle Bay looked really cool because it was a horse shoe shaped beach and it looked lovely. There was only sand and no rocks or shells to hurt your feet so swimming from the beach was easy and fun. The water was all sorts of blues and we anchored so close to the beach I was able to swim to the shore and back to the boat. Jack and I played in the water so much here, we loved it. We really want to come back here when we turn round and start going back up north. There were palm trees every where by the side of the sand some were hanging over the sea and had their roots in the water. By the roots there were so many little fish that thought it was coral it was really easy for us to spot them. There were pelicans with their big slouchy beaks dive bombing into the water to catch the fish. We have read that after they dive bomb and come back out of the water, the water drains out of their beaks and then they can eat the fish they have caught.
