Beware 'sand gravity' — after one rum punch in the tropical heat, the motivation to leave the lounge chair evaporates fast. If you'd rather not gain weight on the Caribbean's gourmet island, here are some easy ways to stay active, all easiest to reach with a rental car.
Options around the island
- Padel tennis — the island's newest craze, at a club on Kangaroo Road #24 opposite the Belair Beach Hotel, open 7 AM–10 PM.
- Golf — the 18-hole course at Mullet Bay, praised for its layout and lagoon-side scenery.
- Tennis — the Country Club at Port de Plaisance is the prime spot.
- Running — the quiet perimeter road around the Mullet Bay golf course is a runner's dream.
- Gyms & CrossFit — the Country Club at Port de Plaisance (with an Olympic pool), Incredible Fitness in the west, and the U & I CrossFit boutique studio.
