8 days gives you ample (never enough) time to see a bit of the island.... Bob & I are not foodies... we have burgers on the beach and often a Lolo in the evening.... We are beach bums and Bob insists on running all over the island (we normally stay 10-14 days and I insist on one day in the villa...)Our favorites

1. Mullet - nice waves... a couple of beach bars.... great setting.

2. Baie Rouge - Absolutely beautiful setting... a different sand makes walking the beach a bit tough

3. Dawn Beach - Best beach burger around and also very beautiful

Note I have not offered up Orient and Pinel.... Orient is everything people say it is.... But too commercial for us.... We dont have to fly to the Carribean to jet ski and parasail.. We are 6 hours from Destin and that is what orient feels like

Many love Pinel... We prefer at least some water movement and there is none here... It is a lake... and when we HAVE gone there has been very little breeze...

So for what it is worth..... April 2017 cant come soon enough
