It’s really such a gem, pure paradise, and a spot of peace. The island is just 7 miles lengthy and 1 mile large, with probably the most stunning, crystal clear water surrounding it. Just a few of my favourite issues concerning the island:
- It’s not commercialized. In truth, there can’t be excessive rises on the island, so it primarily consists of all properties [lots of beautiful ones at that, which makes riding around the island a fun activity in itself].
- Chains aren’t allowed on the island, that means every little thing there’s a domestically owned small enterprise.

- Whereas it’s a small island, it isn’t missing in something. You’ll see simply from the eating choices beneath that it has a lot to get pleasure from! You can also make your journeys right here as busy or as quiet as you need them to be!
- The situation – situated on the Gulf of Mexico, the seashores are a number of the greatest, whereas being only a 30-60 minute drive from some superior off-island places! Extra on these beneath!
