Little Corn Island

The entire island is basically one long beach, but each stretch has its own personality. The west side serves up the best sunsets — grab a spot at Carlitos Beach Bar around 5:30pm and watch the sky turn orange over your Toña beer. Cost: $2 for the beer, priceless for the view. North End Beach stays quieter during the day. Perfect if you want to read a book without someone's Bluetooth speaker interrupting every other page. The sand here is softer too, thanks to less foot traffic. South Side gets the best morning light and calmer waters. Local fishermen pull their boats up here around 6am — worth the early wake-up to see the day's catch come in. Plus, you might score some fresh lobster for dinner. Here's the thing about Little Corn beaches: they're all clothing-optional if you want them to be. The island attracts a pretty relaxed crowd. But stick to the more secluded spots if you're going au naturel.
