Fodor's Expert Review Sandy Island

A popular day trip, tiny Sandy Island shelters a pretty lagoon nestled in coral reefs about 2 miles (3 km) from Road Bay/Sandy Ground, with a restaurant that serves lunch and great islandy cocktails. From November through August you can take the shuttle from Sandy Ground ($40 round-trip). There is mooring for yachts and larger sailboats. Small boats can come right in the channel.  The reef is great for snorkeling. Amenities: food and drink. Best for: partiers; snorkeling; swimming.
