The swimming ,scenery and the peace and quite. Banks are inhabited so when you go bring plenty of water what ever else you plan to take because their is nothing their but dune ocean sand and wildlife .

Beautiful place to swim and relax. Bring everything you need and also remember to take all your trash with you

Take a bag with you for shelling. A mesh potato sack works great.

Go to the tallest dunes near the center of the island for good views ...and they are fun to slide down!
