Creator's Key Takeaways

this is a Bahamian Paradise with powder White Sands and turquoise blue Waters but argh wait there's a different story here a history of pirates drug smugglers crime this island has a dark past

I would still rather be here while it's raining and the rain is nice and warm than me back home at home at the moment it's -5 and snowing

the island is actually still largely undeveloped as only 55 of the 1 000 acres are being used

from that shady past it's now a paradise which people get to enjoy which is so much better isn't it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hunker down under a shelter during occasional Caribbean storms and wait for the sun to return
Hire a bike to cycle down the famous runway for a unique island experience
Consider participating in the Castaway Cay 5K marathon for a medal
