Be sure to go at off peak hours and sit on the patio for the best views! It's spendy but worth it for the fresh lobster, quintessential island view, and pier experience.

This is where we go to swim in the ocean. No crowds, sometimes we're the only ones on the beach. Take a picnic and hike through the woods. Just ask and I'll give you directions to this preserve not far from our cabin. But please don't tell too many people about it! The peace and quiet is heaven!
