Creator's Key Takeaways

we previously visited the island in 2018 and returned aboard the carnival legend in april 2022

the ride to the island took about 10 to 15 minutes and our return trip later in the day took about the same amount of time

beach chairs were free to use and plentiful but there were not many shaded areas for those who preferred a bit less sun

if you're looking for an area that's a bit less crowded just walk further along the beach

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your snorkeling gear to the island
Remember to bring your beach towel from the ship
Check the welcome center's information hut for barbecue and shuttle times
