Strong enough to make it difficult, if not impossible, to swim across the short distance. On the right side of the image is East Beach, a magnificent miles long beach. The only way to access it is either by foot, four wheel vehicle ( no paved roads, only sand - and permit is required ) or by boat. #beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/183928/72b7b6a4-b6cb-4e59-b7f6-232274d6d271.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![It's one of the last summer-like days in late September and the weather could not have been better.
