Well, let's see...Caneel's beaches are still somewhat in limbo due to the retained estate usage...no, I'd have to say they do not belong to the Park, if Caneel chooses to say otherwise, and recently they do.
So all below are VINP:
Europa
Genti
Jumbie
Little Reef Bay(mostly)
Parrot (where did this name come from? i have always called it Oyens Point)

Thanks Hugo - Parrot :)

Let's just say I have an old source...

Personally I didn't even know it by either name!

Should it be called "Oyens Point"? All I have for it is "Perfect beach for surfing." - which sounds a little... lacking, to say the least. If you want to add any comments to these names, I would love to hear them!

Thanks -

I had heard from Ranger that the west side of Grootpan was in the park, but the east side was not.
