The engine rumbles before the shore appears — a cloud of dust gives way to palms and a ribbon of turquoise. You’ll push through scrubby hills and coconut groves, the buggy’s tires sketching new lines across unbeaten tracks. Rivers dare you to slow; surf-cooled breezes push you toward a wide, wind-scoured beach where the Atlantic meets warm sand.
