A walk on the beach is about as iconic of a beach vacation activity as you can get. The Salt House is situated near the center of the gorgeous Love Beach on Little Exuma island in The Bahamas. Rather than a long stretch of sand, Love Beach is a crescent cove about 300 yards long and bordered by ancient rock outcroppings. Just a few other beach houses share the cove keeping the quiet setting focused on the natural surroundings. Walking down and back, the waves hit your feet and ankles, while you share a story or a few laughs, and take in the vibrant blues of the ocean and sand rimmed islands out at sea.
And for those that like to get more exercise while on vacation, a jog on the beach is a true treat. From the house, 3 round trips from end to end on the cove (rocks-to-rocks as I call it) makes for the prettiest mile you've ever run. Jogging in the sand is quite a bit more challenging than on a sidewalk, but the view is unbeatable. Low tide is the best time where the sand is more compact making for a firmer surface...and when the tide returns, the waves will wash away the footsteps refreshing the unspoilt nature of the beach.
