Just a roadway through the middle of the business section of the island. Where you need to be if you're looking for something to do or a place to eat. We were on island in the off season so it wasn't too bad but can imagine that this street is bumper to bumper in the winter. More

You will find just about every thing you might need along the Islands Main Street. You just have to get used to the setback feature of the buildings and the small signage. But that is what makes the Island unique. None of the blatant garish signs you find else where. I like it. More

The roads were packed the week prior to Easter. The police had good control of the traffic but we were suprised at the number of people on the island. More
