Salt island - in the top 10 of this year

Salt island vacations are great
Shaped like the letter "T", Salt Island measures just 1mile all directions. A short boat ride west from Cooper Island, Salt Island vacations provide a quiet retreat from the world. There are about six West Indians populating the island, living in a strand of small cottages on the north shore. Near the north shore beach is a salt pond, and the salt-making for which the island is named is still undertaken by residents. Salt Island's main attraction is the wreck of the RMS Rhone that crashed on the island's southwest coast. West of the settlement, you can see on your Salt Island vacations a stone wall surrounding the graves of those who perished in the wreck. |
