PLACES OF INTEREST Levera National Park Located at the northern tip of the island, this 450-acre park is a coastal eco-system with a 23-acre lagoon, mangrove swamps, exotic bird species and nesting turtles. It is also home to Bathway Beach, a favourite hang-out for locals on weekends and public holidays. From the park you can see the small uninhabited Sandy Island, Green Island and the private Sugar Loaf Island. You can walk the trail around the lagoon, swim in the safe, cordoned off area on Bathway Beach, snorkel and end your day with a picnic. With so few people here during the week, you may just have the beach all to yourself.
