The Tarpum Bay township is a quaint reminder of how life really is on these islands. Fisherman come in with their catch every day around 3:00 pm and you can often buy directly off the boat if you meet them. In the middle of town, you can get directions to anywhere on the island, and ther are great shops, a few restaurants and guest houses, and colorful churches and homes that dot this tiny urban landscape. Many of the buildings, however, still bear the reminder that Hurricanes Andrew and Floyd tore through this island in the 1990's, as did the 2004 hurricanes, Frances and Jeanne, and minor brushes with a few 2005 hurricanes.
