MSC's private island is a former industrial sand-mining site restored into a marine reserve with five beaches, a lighthouse, and coral restoration projects guests can learn about at the on-site marine center. Snorkeling, paddleboarding, and glass-bottom kayak tours are popular, and the Ocean House beach club offers an upgraded, quieter stretch of sand.
