Spend the day out soaking up the sun on Onetagi beach or any of the nine others, and head out to a winery just before lunch for a wine-tasting tour since it has so many vineyards and wineries. The island also has a cinema, and an arts theatre for various performances, complemented very well by the local art galleries and studios.
