Swim Between 2 Idyllic Caribbean Islands — and See Turtles, Fish, and Other Marine Life Along the Way

"This beachfront bar and gathering spot functions as the official finish line for the cross-channel swim, accommodating everyone from casual, fin-equipped participants to serious competitors racing without aids. The finish area doubles as a community hub for the event’s charitable and outreach efforts—organizers have renewed partnerships with the local Special Olympics chapter and a 'Gifting Goggles' initiative that collects donated goggles for youth swimming programs—and is where course times are recorded, including the course record of 55 minutes, 28 seconds held by Olympic gold-medalist Ashley Whitney." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
