Clifton Hill Beach — Attraction in Point Fortin

This was my first visit to Clifton beach. A few weeks ago, an aunt flew in from NY. She was going to spend some time in her family home in Pt. Fortin and mentioned Clifton beach. So when I had the opportunity to head in that direction, a beach bath was added to the agenda. On arrival we were disappointed at how brown the water. Further out though, the water was a pretty blue. We almost didn't venture in, but we're glad we did. The sandy shoreline was inviting. The water was choppy, with a bit of a current,not too cold.
