Tahiti Beach is located at the very end of Elbow Cay. It is a popular spot among the boaters, when it is calm and when there is an east wind. There are also a few vacation rentals nearby which adds quite a few people coming to the beach by foot. Between the small rental boats, the families walking to the beach and the larger boats anchored out Tahiti was a great people watching beach. We enjoyed watching the kids build sand castles and run up and down in the shallow waters at low tide. Low tide made a great swimming hole for the little bitty kiddy's. Although it was great fun to watch the little ones play it did cause a little homesickness for the grandkids. While Tom and Peanut relaxed on the beach I waded in the water looking for treasures. When the tide is out you can walk out into the Sea of Abaco for quite a ways but after a while the sandy bottom becomes grass mixed with rock. Wearing water shoes allowed me to go out into the grassy area which was much less picked over by visitors. I found a few sea biscuits and a hand full of sea glass. I was pretty excited about how far out I was from shore and how close I was able to get to the cut through to the ocean until I saw a large ray then a large fin out of the water that was attached to something I wasn't sure I wanted to see. So I picked up the pace and moved towards shore. Our second day at Tahiti we rode the dinghy across to Lubbers Cay. There are two establishments that are well known and we of course did not want to miss seeing them. Lubbers Landing and Cracker P's. After checking out Cracker P's Tom settled in on one of their chase lounges on the beach and napped while I checked out Lubbers Landing and walked through a path leading to the other side of the island. The following morning the weather report was not positive. The winds were going to pick up and a possible thunderstorm come through so we moved down Elbow Cay to Hope Town and took a mooring ball in the harbor. Sorry that a couple of the photos are blury. My camera has started to act up a little.
