First visit was incredible
Just left after spending four days on your beautiful island. What a slice a paradise.
I especially loved that we rented bikes and biked to Sconset, Dionis and other beaches. The ability to hop on the Wave was a great perk too. If I had more time I would have biked to Cisco but I spent so much time wandering downtown on foot. I was struck by how undeveloped so much of the island is yet how high the real estate prices are. The bike ride from downtown to Sconset was through so much undeveloped land. It reminds me of Central Park in New York, where the real estate is worth so much money but they are holding firm and preserving the land.
Saw three incredible sunsets on three different parts of the island: Madaket, Galley Beach, and on the Endeavor.
Could not believe there was consistently a line outside of Dairy Boy. I'm 37 so maybe it's for people younger than me.
I loved the trip because you can make it as fancy or as laid back as you want. If you want to stay downtown and spend money and gawk at the yachts you can do that. Personally I preferred exploring the nature and history. I read 'In the Heart of the Sea' before my visit and it helped me learn the island's unique history. Captain Jim on the Endeavor was a great source of info as well.
I hope to go back soon, it's such a special place. Most everyone we met was kind though a lady did steal my sandwich at Born & Bread. Makes for a great story though.
