Fun store. Great kites, wind socks and curio. Store owner is a fun lady to talk to well versed in island history and directions.

We stopped by quickly but ended up staying 1,5h during which we learned a lot about the recent history of the almost-ghost town and we also learned to make a simple kids kite.Definitely a Highlight.
