Bay Resort is located in Milton Bight 15 minutes east past French Harbour.
Look for the sign on the main road.
Palmetto Bay Plantation can be reached either
over the left hand turnoff on the main road immediately before the Megaplasa
Mall near French Harbour opposite "Rotiseria
Aleman". Or if going west in Coxen Hole take the right turn by Mud Hole off the main road before Sandy Bay.
It would be a left turn if coming from West End and Sandy Bay going east.
