Sometimes where an island IS
Has a lot to do with what an island IS for a visitor to it.
And what an island IS sometimes also gives it
it's Own Special Charm
Think about it..... like the hub of a wheel
with spokes leading out in every direction
UNION ISLAND IS...

UNION ISLAND IS CONNECTED.
So many people are always asking me to arrange a 3-5 day escape
and they want to see all the islands or as many of them that time permits.
I always tell you
NOT TO DO THAT.
Pick an island and discover it's own special charm.
Otherwise you'll spend more time trying to leave one island and get to another island than you will actually spend on the islands enjoying them.
It's not easy and can be very expensive.
BUT.... from Union Island you just might be able to do it all.
But before you plan on day escapes FROM Union Island,
remember that there are a great deal of attractions and interesting experiences right here.
For example, Union Island is also:
BIG SAND BEACH
and GREAT roads for bicycling
and one after another private cove and beach to have as your very own
This is definitely the island for YOU, too.
