Getting Around

The island is easy to navigate:

  • Biking is one of the best ways to explore, with miles of dedicated paths. OUR FAVORITE WAY TO GET AROUND!
  • Cars are convenient but not always necessary, especially in summer.
  • The public bus system connects all major towns and beaches.
  • Taxis and Ubers are readily available.
