A scattering of rocking chairs on the boardwalk offers the perfect place to sit and gaze out over the ocean at sunset with a cocktail in hand, while the saltwater lagoon is a scenic spot to watch herons, pelicans and frigate birds diving for their dinner.

Embrace the tropical vibe of the Caribbean with island-inspired live music, enriching activities and events. Evenings at Galley Bay Resort & Spa are infused with an enchanting mix of steel-drum rhythms, reggae beats and popular tunes performed by talented local musicians.

When not swaying to the music, you might mingle at a cocktail party, please your palate at a special barbecue, join a cooking demonstration, tour the resort's gardens or catch a movie under the stars.
