About
Freshwater Bay, known locally as Pile Bay, is a tiny, sparsely wooded inlet historically used by fishermen where Caribbean spiny lobster is seasonally available from local divers. Calm, clear water and a sheltered setting make it a tranquil spot for snorkelling, away from the busier west coast beaches.
