I just read a nice article about the bird sanctuary in Fonthill adjacent to Scott's Cove, the fry fish and bammy town. Has anyone been there and could you fill me in on what it's like?
I also heard about a large freshwater lake and fairly unknown white sand beach. All of these attractions are in St. Elizabeth Parish.

Fonthill has been open/closed/open sporadically, now that the crocs migrated from Sandals Whitehouse to the mangroves here, now designated as a refuge. It's birder territory, a favorite of many Smithsonian ornithologists but can be fraught with real dangers:2 years ago, one birder stepped on the nose of a croc and got his leg mashed up good.

Horseback riding, we hear from Rambo James, is now
being offered at/near Font Hill. The beach, last time we went, is small, sweet, locals. A new regional airport is on the books for the area -- go now.

The Treasure Tours team went to Font Hill for the horseback riding a few months ago. Although we had a good time (impossible not to with Silvan, Nickell and Kevin riding behind you telling jokes and stories the whole way), it was not what I expected. The horses were pretty high spirited to deal with folks with no experience of riding. There were times where each of us felt uncomfortable and (speaking for myself) a bit scared. I am used to going to places like this in the States where you could drop the reins and the horse would be the docile follower of the horse in front of him. This was not the case here.

It was a scenic ride complete with the obligatory quick trot in the sea, but I would hesitate to recommend it to the inexperienced riders and I would not care to do it again.
