I have been here three times and every time was fantastic. Mind the poison ivy as it is quite prevalent. Swimming at the head of the harbor was superb. Three guest Moorings can make your visit even more relaxing and secure. It is a tight harbor and gets busy on the weekends.

This little gem is well worth the visit. There are some nice trails to explore on the island itself, but even a cruise into the harbor is a sight to behold.
