HOTELS

If you feel like staying the night or if you missed the 1 a.m. ferry back to the mainland- you have options. Of course, most of those options will cost a few bucks, provided there are even any vacancies. Most reservations are for the entire week or weekend. A one-night stay is rare at best.

While the beach may be your first thought, also check out:
