Have a GREAT eascape from ice, snow or cold temperatures. Take a break from the daily harassments of life in your big city! Enhamce the romance in your life! And do these things at your `home away from home' -- RIVIERA VILLA! In two minutes flat you will walk from the villa gate to the Mammee Bay beach club entrance.
On the beach warm sand will pamper your toes as you jog or as you play volleyball. A large section of the swimming area is shallow enough to be a wading pool for small children or non-swimmers.
Two sets of coral reefs separate the swimming area at the beach club from the Caribbean sea beyond. This means that large fish are rarely, if ever, found on the land side of the reefs. However, very small fish abound at the reefs. The best time to see them is early in the morning. Put on your swimming goggles and wade out to the first reef. Then look down into the water. It may be a sight whose beauty you will never forget -- just dozens of small fish of various kinds swimming around!
At the beach club you can buy refreshments or arrange for scuba diving, glass-bottom boating, para-sailing, deep sea fishing, horse-back riding, water skiing, sailing, and snorkeling, (for fees). If your party wants to play tennis, the staff will help you to arrange to rent use of the tennis court at Heaven Can Wait Villa, which is across the street from the Beach Club entrance.

The next picture is taken at the northern end of the beach, where you get a clear view of the main building of Sandals Dunn's River resort, which is at the eastern end (the photo was taken at the western end of the beach). Behind the green foliage about one-third of the distance walking back from Sandals you will see the top section of the front wall of RIVIERA VILLA in the background.
