Stocking Island

Fodor's Review:

Slightly more than a mile off George Town's shore lies Stocking Island. The 5-mi-long island has only seven inhabitants, a gorgeous white beach rich in seashells and popular with surfers, and plenty of good snorkeling sites. Jacques Cousteau's team is said to have traveled some 1,700 feet into Mystery Cave, a blue-hole grotto 70 feet beneath the island. Club Peace & Plenty's ferry runs over to Stocking Island twice daily at 10 AM and 1 PM and charges $10 for nonguests. Near the Stocking Island pier, Peace & Plenty Beach Club provides changing rooms (with plumbing) and operates a lunch spot where Dora's hamburgers and famous conch burgers are the eats of choice. To enjoy the setting sun from Stocking Island, head for the Chat & Chill, a lively open-air restaurant and bar right on the point (reachable only by boat). The restaurant picks up guests at Government Dock.
