It is unquestionably a kayaker’s, sailor’s, camper’s, and any nature enthusiast’s dream.

We have 1,000 feet of ocean frontage, with two all tide launch sites, a spring-fed 1 acre pond for swimming and kayak practice and training, a scenic campground with secluded sites and clean bathhouse, a charming newly constructed bunkhouse with 3 private rooms, a well stocked camp store, outfitting service/building and a variety of rental equipment. Our property abuts a 50 acre public park that was once a large working granite quarry. Our walking trails lead to the park trails – a fascinating place with wonderful views.
