Beautiful island that has great walks. It’s about 10 km around the perimeter but you can do a variety of shorter walks-all beautiful. You can get a ferry over to the island from Maffeo-Sutton Park. Great for a day trip or you can camp there. The whole island is a park so no one lives there except the lucky game warden.

A lovely collection of shops and restaurants. The best yarn shop I have ever been to with incredibly helpful staff. Also McCleans is a fine food store with food from around the world and an excellent selection of cheese. Eric, the owner is quite the personality, and he has a lovely Scottish accent too.
