Notes from the island

Itineraries, local intel, and the case for gathering your people on Florida's calmest barrier island.

Three days, ten people, zero arguments — a beach-to-bonfire plan that works for kids and adults alike.

No high-rises, a free trolley, and restaurants that actually seat twelve — the island that group trips were made for.

Eight ways to win a stormy afternoon — museums, manatees, trampolines, and the arcade you never left home.
