Providencia - South West Beach

South West Bay is the largest beach on the island, it's also the place to be for the Saturday afternoon horse racing. Also the social gathering of the week. If you’ve been on the island a few days, you’ll bump into everyone you’ve met during the week.

Pretty empty most of the time. For around 20 minutes, the whole island descends to place their bets on their winning horse.

The horse race lasts around 2 minutes. It's supposed to start at 1 pm, but to no surprise, it begins more towards 3 pm.

Otherwise a calm beach, there are many restaurants and bars with plenty of space to find your little chill-out spot. It's awesome for lunch and in the evening you can eat under the stars in front of the bonfire.Read more
