A beautiful walk from the little beach by Osprey Rock all the way to Bonefish Point
A high light of any trip out to South West Bluff is the beautiful walk from the beach at Osprey Rock down to Bonefish Point.

A Haitien sloop washed up along the shore
Sad to say, we often see these wrecked Haitien sloops carrying probably 100 or more people to what they think will be a better life. Many are caught and repatriated.
Pin cushion sea stars love the sandbar. We found many of them.
That’s an amazing flat but make sure you have your fishing license with you if you plan to fish

A picturesque, dream of a day at Bonefish Point
A perfect afternoon to wade into the water at Bonefish Point
On another rather cloudy day, a storm changed the colours to a soft pastel combination of hues.
These great kids hammed it up for the camera in the shallows of the sandbar.
Some local kids were fishing with one fishing rod and a hand line but I’m not sure that they caught anything other than disturbing a blue crab, a cushion starfish and a conch.
A blue crab wasn’t too impressed with facing the camera but he was let go after his modeling debut.
Life is always interesting around the sandbar and on this day I lucked out, smiling kids, someone fishing, finding a small blue crab, a bright orange cushion starfish, a conch and of course, the muted colours of the ocean at low tide and passing storm clouds. Wow! What a spectacular and lovely day.
