Best WEST coast beach?

[toriwc]

We are looking for suggestions for the best west coast beach...good for snorkling and a little swimming. Preferably with food/drinks/facilities available.

 

The last time I asked a similar question, I was just told repeatedly how I should skip the beach and do an island tour. We've been to the island three times, have seen it, haven't found a place we want to return to. We just want a beach. Thank you in advance.

I stayed at Tamarind Cove Hotel 2 weeks ago and every day cruise ship visitors would come there for the day. I dont know if they paid or just walked through the lobby to the beach. They did rent chairs on the beach and use the hotel Bar and grounds. There are two reefs that are ok for snorkeling in front of the hotel and good swimming just down the beach. Next door is Daphnes Restaurant where you could have a meal also.
