💡 Tips

As a remote village on Sunday Cove Island, ensure you stock up on fuel and essentials before crossing the causeway.
Cellular service can be quite spotty in the area; download your offline maps in advance.
The calm waters are excellent for kayaking, but you should bring your own equipment as rentals are scarce.
Chat with the locals; the community is small and welcoming, and residents often share the best hidden fishing spots.
