Some websites will say that you should be barefoot. I tried that on our first walk up into town along Middle Street (because Front Street didn't go all the way down to where we were), and I wore all the skin off my heels. The sand is very abrasive, so unless your feet are really tough, wear sandals at least.
Most of the time, we walked along the shore along a path at least as far as the cemetery and which point we could take a short street up to Front Street or Middle Street. At night we would need a flashlight because there were obviously no street lights along the path. The second picture is a crab going into his hole that I took with a flash. Unfortunately, the photodevelopers wrote on the negative so the crab is obscured.
One of the websites says: "Perhaps the best way to get around the island like most locals do is by bike. Rentals are readily available by the hour, day or week at an average price cost of: US$ 2.50/hour or $10/day. Golf carts and large tricycles provide taxi service with the cost about US$4 per trip.
I don't think either of those were available when we were there. Or maybe I didn't think a bike would be that much better.
