 | The island probably needs the tourist trade but I’m sure that the wealthy home owners don’t. Public beach access is invisible. 82 miles of sand — less than 5 of it shared. Looking at a google map what appears to be a grid-work of roads toward beach are actually driveways to pricey private real estate. Some named streets are overgrown paths used by residents. Spotting a local on a bike with a beach towel bungeed to the back fender proved an excellent scout and I gave chase in running shoes. [ GPX ] |
