An email request to visit the beautiful Malcolms Beach at the North West side of the island (next stop Bahamas!) to surprise a 5 year old? Can't say no to that!
A phone call and a couple of emails and we were set to go!
We had asked Dad to tell her through the day that a magical mythical sea creature lived in the ocean outside of the Amanyara Resort where the family where staying ... so she was already feeling the magic!
A walk along the beach later that afternoon led to buried treasure!
Buried Treasure ... a Magical Conch Horn !! Blow it 3 times and legend has it a Mermaid will appear!
Now these things aren't always the easiest thing to blow, so when 3 loud 'whooooo's' were heard being pretty much yelled through the horn Bella giggled and flipped up her golden tail so she could be seen!
You can imagine the little lady's reaction !! To see her running along the beach to meet Bella was a beautiful sight, she had a LOT of hair, down to her waist, thick dark curls and they were streaming along behind her as she ran ... very Mermaid like!
Both Mum & Dad had come along to share the Encounter and they all sat and chatted in the shallow safe waters of this rustic and rural area of Providenciales.
Recently there were Reef Balls installed up in this area, so it's gaining more and more popularity with visitors, but even with the beach being gently occupied no-one knew a Mermaid was there, so the encounter was kept entirely private and magical!
