The main draws here are tied to Ian Fleming's legacy and the bay itself. GoldenEye estate sits on the headland where Fleming wrote every Bond novel; tours let you into the house and onto the grounds. James Bond Beach below is one of the more pleasant public beaches on the north coast — clear water, decent facilities, and a relaxed atmosphere. The real draw for the serious visitor, though, is the Oracabessa Bay marine reserve, where a no-take zone has allowed the reef to recover to a state that makes snorkelling genuinely rewarding. The town itself is worth a short wander for its market and working wharf, and the afternoon light on the bay is something to see.
