✨ Signature Highlights
🏝️ The Beach Experience
Because it is off the beaten path, you will often find that you have the entire beach to yourself. The sand here is incredibly soft, and the shallow, turquoise waters are perfect for a relaxing swim. During low tide, a beautiful sandbar emerges, temporarily connecting Guitar Island to neighboring Small Guitar Island.
Clubbing Destinations
Most travelers combine their visit to Guitar Island with a trip to the stunning Mark Bay Beach (North Passage Island), making for a perfect full-day island-hopping adventure from Long Island.
