The best lunch we had all summer had no address. It was on a little wooden boat, anchored in a bay, with bread, tomatoes and a bottle cooling in the sea.
Renting a day boat has become the smartest way to see the coast. You choose the beach, the swim stop and exactly when lunch happens.
How it works
Most harbors rent small boats by the day, many without a license. Ask for one with shade, a ladder and a cool box, and plan a route around two coves.
“Out here, lunch is whenever you get hungry and the restaurant moves with you.”
What to pack
Good bread, a hard cheese, fruit, plenty of water and something cold. Bring a hat, reef-safe suncream and a towel you do not mind losing.
Head out early, anchor by noon and be back in the harbor for the last of the light.
