A while back, the resort was called Turtle Bay- lots for sale and some vacation homes were built. The raod has beem unpaved since 1978 and before.And the local promise has been that it will be paved shortly. We had many interesting rides on the rough road in our jeep since Long Bay, at the end of the road and then some, had been a deserted and pristine snorkeling site. The quality of the road depends a lot on the amount of rain- the more rain during the rainy season, the more ruts in the road- some human sized. Turtle Bay development failed, I think, but I dont know baout the current developers. The condition of the road has always been a deterrent I would think. BTW, in 1978, the mountain road to North Sound was still being completed and we had to bring most of out food for our extended stay. Except for the Bakery at the marina- fresh food and veggies only once a week by boat and the Wednesday lines for these commodities was tiem consuming. And dining at the Bath and Turtle or Little Dix for a month was not really an option.
