Finding an island to visit in the Caribbean is about as hard as finding a star in the night sky. But look closely, and sometimes it's the smallest flecks in the heavens that shine the brightest.
Turns out it's the same way when it comes to islands. Size truly doesn't matter. That said, when we set out to find smaller isles off most tourist radars, we figured we'd find pretty much the same thing. Empty roads. No cruise ships. Untrammeled beaches, (like here in the Baths on Virgin Gorda). Friendly locals.
In other words, perfection.
