You pull away from the port and the air shifts—salt, coconut husk, diesel from the minivan—then a voice: Yohan, a native guide with a ready smile, setting the pace. The road hugs low limestone ridges, palms bow over single-lane streets, and the Atlantic keeps time in the distance. In four hours you move from village storefronts to shaded viewpoints and a soft-sand beach equipped with chairs, umbrellas, showers and even Wi‑Fi for a slow post-swim scroll.
