I think I can die happy now. I have seen the perfect beach, with perfect sand and perfect water. Not a cloud in the sky. Not a beach vendor in sight. In fact, almost no one at all. I had heard such places existed, but I was stunned they were so close to home. Harbour Island, Bahamas. Awesome. I cannot wait to return.
