Camp Bay Beach

Camp Bay Beach, located just past the local village of Diamond Rock on the island's far north coast, is completely undeveloped—a postcard-perfect, two-mile-long strand of deserted beach. To get there, rent a four-wheel-drive Geo Tracker at Best Car Rental at the airport or from Sandy Bay Rent-a-Car (504-445-1925) in the West End, and head down the dirt road past the local village of Diamond Rock on the island’s far north coast (if you get lost, just ask a local). Pick up picnic fare at the tiny Woody’s grocery in West End or at the larger Eldon’s in French Harbour and lunch under the shady coconut palms.
