Prickly Pear National Park on Prickly Pear Island
This uninhabited island in the North Sound has been a national park since 1988 and features a bird sanctuary and four salt ponds. The west side of the island offers the Sandbox Bar and Grill as a great lunch option, but head to the east side for the truly secluded beaches. Your only neighbours here are likely to be a goat wandering down from the cacti covered hills or the sea turtles – which use the sandy beaches for nesting.
