This property was acquired from the Howland Family in 1995.
Features:
Quietly tucked into the southeast corner of Planting Island Cove lie almost 9 acres of serene and unspoiled refuge for shorebirds and marine life. The walkway into the marsh makes possible an intimate view of osprey, terns, oystercatchers, and ever-present seagulls. Low tide reveals the oysters, mussels, quahogs, and several species of crab that populate the mudflats.
Location:
Point Road, about 2.5 miles from the traffic light on Route 6, on the right-hand side. About 100 yards past Rogers Drive.
Parking:
Off-site parking is available along Point Road.
