From the white limestone cliffs of Corsica to the turquoise gems of Sardinia—every mile is a postcard. Entering Bonifacio for the fourth time, and it still takes our breath away.

Shroud Cay: The first significant island in the Exuma Cays Park is Shroud Cay, a curious 3-mile-long isle fringed by coral reefs with a heartland of mangroves and creeks.

Trails from the beach to the top of the hill are clearly identifiable and you can climb to the top and take in a spectacular...
