Since 2013, Geoffrey J. Block has served as manager of RLB Squared, a real estate investment firm that oversees a portfolio of properties including residential buildings, RV parks, malls, shopping centers, and assisted living facilities. Outside of his professional pursuits, Geoff Block enjoys traveling. He counts St. Bart’s in the Caribbean as his favorite vacation spot.

St. Bart’s is an island famous for its white-sand beaches, high-end restaurants, designer shops, and historical attractions. It is also a popular destination for celebrities, models, and anyone who yearns for exclusivity in a laid back environment.

St. Bart’s has 16 beaches, each different and unique. One of the beaches, Saline Beach, is popular for those who enjoy the translucent blue water and long stretches of sand without the distractions of shops, bars, or restaurants. Colombier is another isolated place suitable for adventure-seeking tourists, as the beach is accessible only through a 30-minute hike or boat. For beginner surfers, Saint-Jean and Lorient are popular choices. On the other hand, experienced surfers can catch more challenging waves at Point Milou, Petit Anse, and Anse Toiny. To experience a more vibrant atmosphere, Eden Rock and Nikki Beach are the places to explore, with plenty of beach clubs hosting day parties. To watch the sunset, Shell Beach offers the best view.
