A guide will be your best bet, so much instant learning to be had with a pro. There are going to be some public islands and beaches where a shore lunch is doable, no question. Of course in Mangrove swamps no landing spots. But: https://youtu.be/MCJ58_ilP_U we have a lot of small parks and picnic areas so a local will put you right. And frankly with as much public land as we have the right to walk and ramble is usually not a huge problem. ========== REMAINDER OF ARTICLE TRUNCATED ==========
