As per our island-hopping tradition, we walked and walked and walked.  We were tempted to take an excursion boat around the island to visit their "secret secluded beaches", but we decided to walk the island first.  We encountered some steep trails leading down the cliffs and we discovered some incredible beaches at the bottom.  Nobody in their right minds would want to climb back to the top, so we had the beaches to ourselves.  Except ... for an occasional excursion boat anchoring off their favorite secret spot.  They never stayed for long.  They moved on to their other secret places.
