Little Key
Little Key is a small islet that lies more or less along the ferry route to Pinel. Underwater, it has a nice, shallow reef on the side that faces away from St. Martin, making it worth the swim from Pinel for a little snorkeling as long as you’re careful about watching for boat traffic. Right now, the islet is also a roosting area for dozens of brown pelicans, the largest group I’ve seen on the island. Apparently this flock has been going back and forth between Little Key and Étang Chevrise near Orient Bay. I took a few photos while I was out there, but unfortunately didn’t notice a drop of water on my lens.
