So What could this island that is 7 1/2 miles across and 1 1/2 miles wide have. NOT MUCH But there is a history. Between 1950 and 1970 the U.S. had a military base.(now boarded up) In the 1960’s the space capsule carrying John Glen splashed down just off the island and he was taken to the base for debriefing. And the island used to have a nice salt farm before other larger places pushed them out of business.
The beautiful beach was quite empty when we got there. Another ship arrived and the island was FULL. 
Enough about that . . . We sat by a beautiful fresh water pool and had virgin pina coladas and a very impressive platter of nachos. We took a trolley ride around the island (doesn’t take long) and saw some of the sights.
Here is the beach just before we left, and us getting on the ship. This was our last port of call.
