"Excellent time. Clean and free of trash. I camped on the sandy end and found it free of mosquitos and raccoons for the most part. Fishing was great and the afternoon storms were a welcomed relief from the sun and heat."
"Great lockation. Nice,white sand,lots of shels and not a soul around. Dolphins every evening coming to feed. No see ums were bad in the morning and late evening.Coons are harmless. Used hard plastic containers for water and dry bag for food whitch we use to elevate due to rats on the islands. Isand has good enough cell reseption for ATT"
"Beautiful island and not to far to kayak to on a calm day. About 7 1/4 miles to paddle"
"Beautiful sandy beach which is ideal for camping or an afternoon break. The beach at the Northwestern tip of the island has sunsets over the ocean behind a narrow row of trees for stunning silhouettes. Access from the western channel is quite shallow and most likely impassable at low tide. The channel between the two islands is deep enough for passage at low tide. The bay between the channel and top of the island at the beach is shallow but usually passable. Pulling up at the tip of the beach offers the deepest water for anchoring. Kayaks have no access problems."
"Awesome campsite! We had a beautiful sunset during which a pod of dolphins was feeding 50m off the beach. Quiet but do make sure to secure your food (as we did) as the morning had 9 raccoons feeding off crustaceans in the tidal flats..they did not try to get into or food or water but then again it was a full moon and the tide was out far so there was plenty for them to eat. We will be back!"
