Anse La Roche has always felt like a little secret tucked away just for us. The bay in Carriacou sits so quietly between the rocks that it almost feels hidden, and the only way in is by boat. Every time we arrived, the water was clear and calm, and the beach stretched out soft and empty, as if it had been waiting for us.

We spent whole days swimming in the shallows, snorkeling along the rocky edges, and running through the sand without a care in the world. And whenever Tim cooked for us, he laid out the most incredible meals, with lobster, fresh fish, barbecue chicken, and your favorite of all, banana fritters that vanished faster than he could make them. So many little moments there felt calm and magical, the kind that settle in quietly and stay with you long after you leave.
