This little island is the 2nd one to the right hand side of the end of our dock. It is only 3-7 minute paddle and has a nice fluffy white sand beach shaded by a big tree with a rope swing hanging over the water. Pop over to this little island to watch the sun go down with a glass of wine or bring some towels, chairs and a cooler full of beverages and make it your day trip to your own private beach. With the prevailing on shore trade winds, this spot is often wind protected making for glassy water surfaces that may make you think you are in the South Seas.

Beautiful reserve. Absolutely gorgeous! It’s like having your own private island. Uninhabited and only accessible by water, it still feels untouched by humans. The sand is white, the water is blue, and it feels like you're a million miles from home. Great place for kayaking or day trip.
