Verified traveler

We love how quiet it is, and much less developed than other Gulf beaches.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The Market on the island only has basic things, plan ahead ( which we were aware of before our trip) . There is a great local seafood shop to get fresh seafood. The island is pleasant and relaxing.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Will be the number one vacation spot from here on out. Beautiful views, everyone friendly, quiet, nice and relaxing. Love it!

5/5 - Excellent

The island is very laid back in late October. Not many tourists, it seems. We enjoyed watching the Witches Ride (people wore costumes and decorated bikes for Halloween) and enjoyed the party/live music at Dorty's. Redhouse band.
