AT RIVIERA VILLA THE BEACH IS JUST "A STEP AWAY"

Have a GREAT eascape from ice, snow or cold temperatures. Take a break from the daily harassments of life in your big city! Enhance 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 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!
