You step off the jetty and the island exhales salt and warm, lazy breeze. The van threads through Coxen Hole—low concrete storefronts, fishing boats propped like memory—then climbs toward Dixon Cove where mangroves and fishing piers mark a working coastline. The guide points out weathered clapboard houses, a Methodist church on Flowers Bay, and the stonework left by generations who lived between sea and reef.
