| Choc Beach facing East |
Anyone who knows me knows that I love to swim. Any kind of water is just fine, as long as I can get wet and can move around. One summer I traveled West to East across Canada jumping in any swimming hole I could find. So, it's perfect that I landed in St. Lucia, a 3-minute walk from Choc Beach. Pronounced "shock", this bay is perfectly calm. Clear, azure water and smooth, squishy sand. A wonderful place to finish out my last two-weeks of recovery from surgery, treading water safely each morning and walking the length of the tideline feeling the sand stretch and work my feet and calves in new and delicious ways.

Of course, I'm not the only one to love this bay. Sandals Resort has set up camp on one end. The rest of the beach is lovingly maintained by a lackadaisical group of Rastafari government employees. We greet as I arrive each morning. The ganja-scented workers sweep huge manchineel leaves and picnic leftovers into piles in between smoke breaks. Otherwise, I'm the only one enjoying this piece of paradise!
In the image below you can see the sun hit the Caribbean sea behind Rat Island off Choc Beach. No, really, it's called Rat Island on Google maps.
