Lauriston Mangrove Footpath to Paradise Beach

12° 28.7′ N · 61° 28.5′ W · approximate

A narrow footpath from Lauriston Point to Paradise Beach that winds through coastal mangrove past shallow oyster beds. It's a short, quiet walk that ends at a swim and a beach-bar drink.

Practical

Coordinate is approx: the centroid of the OpenStreetMap mangrove wetland between Lauriston and L'Esterre Bay. Caribbean Beat describes walking from Lauriston Point along the mangrove footpath to Paradise Beach and the Hardwood Bar & Snackette. Lauriston (airport) is on the road between Hillsborough and L'Esterre, so the No. 10 bus can drop you nearby. Wear shoes for mud and roots; mosquitoes and sandflies at dusk. Combine it with Paradise Beach and a water taxi to Sandy Island.
