Chaffinch Island Coastal View

Highlight • Viewpoint

Though referred to as an island, Chaffinch Island is really just a strip of coastline with rocky views and a couple sandy paths. There is a picnic and viewing area near the parking lot and a lot of quiet roads nearby for running.

A nice, small coastal town with a wonderful view of the archipelago, many small shops. A library and a theater. Summer freshness for New Yorkers.

View of Grass Island

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view across the marsh to Grass Island. There are no benches or picnic tables at this point to enjoy the view, but as it is at the end of the road, there is space to safely stop and take a break with a wonderful view.
