I often “write” my blog posts as I walk along the beach. Â Yesterday, as I enjoyed the solitude of an empty beach, I started thinking about our vacation, and my conversations with a few of the island residents.
For example, our guides for a rain forest hike were born and raised on Nevis.  Both briefly ventured out in to the real world, but prefer their simple life on a quiet island.  One even mentioned living on nearby St. Martin:  “It was crazy- all hustle and bustle”.  Isn’t that’s how we describe New York City??
Another Nevis resident told me they ride the ferry over to St. Kitts if they want more activity. Â That would be Wildwood or Ocean City for us.
Just like islands in the Caribbean, the communities along the Jersey Shore have distinct personalities- and therefore, appeal to different vacationers.
This 7 mile long stretch of sand suits me just fine 🙂
