    Not enough sand space for many people to stay on land, have a picnic, leisure around, etc. There were a bit less than 10 boats and that was already too many. I did find a small stretch of sand (pictured) that was empty but it still is small enough that with a couple more boats it’d fill up quickly. I gather early morning or evenings are best to be on this little island. Some parts of the shore were pretty black (like a black ooze) - I imagine from all the boats always around - yet people were still bathing in it.

    Fun place to hang out out. Just have to be careful at low tide as you approach the island

    Nice place to visit. Can be crowded on weekends. Boaters beware of shallows along north side of island. Bald eagle nest in tallest tree visible from east. Be courteous and help keep island clean.

    A incredibly peaceful place to stop & fish, get some sun & cool if in the water. Just pay attention to the channel markers or have sea tow on speed dial.

    Beautiful island to take a break by boat. Easy to reach and not a nautical challenge. The beach slopes down relatively quickly and is sandy throughout. Raising the engine is enough.
