Beautiful island with a 2mile perimeter path that has stunning views. Respect the privacy of the owners and stay away from the buildings and honor the signs.
No dogs are allowed on this island. There are nesting birds on the dunes and livestock on the island.
There are 2 moorings with "RIF" on them where the anchor mark is but there is plenty of room to anchor in this area. High tide will allow some waves to wrap around, but otherwise calm if you pick the right side of the seawall, depending on wind direction.
