We like to get away form it all so enjoyed the craggy rocky side of the island. Its then a dinghy trip form the moorings to get to the white sand beach and enjoy your cocktails. If you take a day trip to this island be sure to take plenty of suncream! Lovely clear water for swimming and excellent reefs... More
