Short description of Jolly Harbour
Jolly Harbour is a marina village on the west coast, built around a network of dredged canals with villas lining the water and a yacht basin at the centre. It works as a base for the quieter half of the island, with a long strip of sand at Jolly Beach and the reef at Cades running parallel to the shore just offshore. Darkwood Beach a few minutes south is the one people photograph, a narrow curve backed by sea grape with Montserrat visible across the channel on a clear day.
