I spend a lot of time daydreaming about being somewhere else...usually a place similar to an ideal Southern California sometime before it was built up, maybe in the 1920's. Then there were only small towns, lots of primitive natural beauty, few cars (people used streetcars and trains!) and a laid-back proto-hippie ambiance.
Most of New Island is a result of these daydreaming jaunts.
Here's a place called Alison's Beach. This part of New Island's eastern coast is little-known and seldom visited, but you might find a meditative hermit. Swimsuits are optional, and the surf here is ideal for bodysurfing.To get here from Victoria Harbor, take Route 6 north all the way to Smallwood, then take M25 to the trailhead near Bailey's Beach. Pack a picnic lunch and water, and have a delightful time.
