It appears to be Cinnamon, in which case you walk all the way east (if you're looking at the water, head to the right). At the east end of the beach there are boulders, and there isn't any swimming required, just some wading or scaling the rocks.ColumbiaSCTraveler wrote:Would someone please remind me how to get to the beach for two shown above?

I think the "beach for two" may be known as the "Mermaid's Chair"; Gerald Singer calls it "Very Little Hawksnest Beach".

Between Trunk and Peter bay...and yes the snorkeling was good...but once you get to the shallow part,getting out of the water into Windswept was hard..very rocky and rough water.Backtotheislands wrote:What/Where is Windswept Beach?? Also, can you snorkel from over to Peter Bay Beach and is the snorkeling good?

So, you can snorkel from Trunk all the way to Peter Bay? Peter Bay is private except by water, is that correct? How long does the snorkel take? We swam from the beach at Leinster out around Waterlemon and back and stayed in the water about 3 hours the day we did that. It wouldn't be anymore strenuous than that, correct? And Windswept is in between. Hmmm, I'd never even heard of that one.

Yep, that's it. I've never heard it called "The Mermaid's Chair" before, but it's definitely a little beach surrounded by those dark rocks, perfect for two.ColumbiaSCTraveler wrote:Thanks for the directions, y'all!
Is this it?
My wife and I call it, "Little Chocolate Hole." It's fun and if you walk to the very right of Gibney and enter the water there, it only takes about 5 or 10 minutes to snorkel over there.
Good times.
