You step off an air-conditioned minibus and the southern coast opens: a black-sand silhouette of cliff, the squat profile of Diamond Rock offshore and the aroma of burning sugarcane from a nearby distillery. The guide ushers the small group toward a tasting counter while gulls wheel above turquoise water—this is a day that moves from industry to memory to shoreline in five compact hours.
