Hike & Explore
The quiet center of the island — a handful of shops, galleries, and a small-town Main Street that hasn't been dressed up for tourists. This isn't a destination with a checklist. It's a place to slow down, walk around, and stumble into something. Start at the galleries, wander toward the water, and see what you find.
