Sandy Island is a small uninhabited strip of beach. It was almost lost a few years ago due to neglect and abuse. Then a hurricane blew thru and deposited a bunch of dead coral in the shallow areas, and took away all of the dead vegetation and instilled some of the locals to start planting trees and other ground cover. This along with a willingness to protect this area for the future now provides us with this beautiful little island beach.
All of these efforts are now bearing fruit with a bit of tourism $$$, from the water taxis, dive operators,and equipment rentals to the mooring fees.
We enjoyed our little afternoon excursion very much.
