Tiny Island Calling Your Name

I'm always on the lookout for small, remote islands cut off from the rest of the world. Our planet has thousands of them, but not every one is hospitable and worth visiting.

The ideal island, in my book, has empty beaches, few tourists, great food and no major cities. An additional plus is the absence of cars.

Thanks to Evan Halper of the LA Times, I now have another to add to my list.

Boipeba Island is located off the coast of Brazil and is blessed with all the necessary island attributes listed above. Halper snorkeled, strolled along empty beaches, slept in $45 a night bungalows, lounged in hammocks, hiked, ate $7 lobster dinners, and sipped coconut juice.

In short, he had a busy time doing nothing. That's my kinda place!
