Spent a night here on our way from CT down the ICW. We wanted to get a early daytime start through New York and this seemed like a good way station.
It was beautiful, quiet, calm and relaxing. Honestly the best night of sleep I'd gotten in 3 days. Amenities are zilch, as it is a small stretch of beach. But some research showed that we could have dinghied up the shore line about a mile and found any provisioning. We didn't need anything for the night and just enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL Sunset and quiet at this lovely anchor.

Spent a week here for some nasty weather. Southwest winds were fin, but anything even a smidge north of west meant rollers rounding the land, and they were mean. It's almost a mile to the town pier and more than a mile to the kayak launch that's directly across the street from a Stop and Shop, liquor store, restaurants, etc. Ace Hardware and West Marine are a n easy walk from there, as is a laundromat. It seems to be a favorite short trip for local boats, so there are lots of lookie loos and some wakes...not the worst I've seen, though. T-Mobile was strong.
