Europa Bay Trail Details

The Europa Bay Trail is really two short trails, one to the bay and one to a point overlooking Europa and Lameshur Bays. These are interesting spots for different reasons: bats and a coral-rubble beach. You'll find the bats in a rocky cleft along Europa Point Trail after you've done a little bushwhacking to get to where they live. If you do this, don't disturb the bats as neither you nor them will be happy. The Europa Bay Trail also passes a salt pond as it leads to a coral rubble beach, an interesting place to check out.
