Located in the protected Smith Bay park, Lindquist Beach is a true vision of paradise, with soft white sand flowing into calm aquamarine waters. The Buck Island National Wildlife Refuge in Santo Tomas is managed by the United States Wildlife Service (FISH &) as a reserve for migratory birds, including frigates, terns and seagulls.
