You'll see the bays and points and know where you'd like to go from there. At the marina, you can hire or jump into a shuttle boat that can bring you to any point on the island. By boat - 1km across the entrance to the Mussulo Bay - strong currents. Get boats from the jetty beneath the Sol-y-mar hotel and the Exxon housing complex, 5kms south of Lunada on the Samba road.
