What Else to See After exhausting the quaint shop, hotel and museum , you'll have the island to yourself, and the possibilities for exploration seem endless. Nightclubs, petroglyphs, falls, botanical gardens and cricket matches are all some of the options not available to tourists. The island boasts several fine beaches, with mysteriously shimmering, blue-black sand and clear if odoriferous waters. Swimming and snorkeling were still popular when this guide went to press. Ask natives for advice about which sea creatures may be poisonous.
Bloody Bay offers the island's best beach, with terrific sunsets.
Locals won't go near it. The staff will listen carefully, and giggle intermittently, as you rant on about this and that, about how the island has not lived up to your idea of paradise. Even back home from your vacation, you may call the tourist information center to discuss the adjustment to your old life. Feel free to complain that because you can't or won't return, winter is encouraged where you live. That snow plows scrape and howl, sparks leap from the heat of blade on asphalt, even in twenty-below air.
