A cross-island road from Portsmouth to the east coast begins near the mouth of the Indian River on the Caribbean side, meanders through coconut plantations, and ends near Sandwich Bay on the Atlantic side. At the junction of this east/west road with the main east-coast road (which runs north/south), you can turn left (north) toward the village of Pennville and zigzag along the steep shoreline. It s a beautiful up-and-down ride to secluded villages perched daringly on cliffs overlooking isolated Atlantic bays.
