So much to do....make sure you stay long enough!

 

Whether you prefer relaxing or exploring, our island has the perfect thing for you!  

The island has two beaches with very different personalities.

 

Dock Beach, located near the docks, is a shallow sand beach located in a wind protected cove.  It is perfect for sand castle building and sun-bathing.  A picnic table as well as several chaise lounges make it the perfect relax and unwind area.

 

Glass Beach, located on the north-eastern side is a pebble beach with cliffs for sunning and diving and ample waves from the ocean and passersby.  The fresh ocean breeze makes it the perfect spot for adventurous swimmers or unadventurous hammock loungers.  Bring a picnic basket and enjoy the day!  

Enjoy the comfort and health benefits of our traditional wood-burning Swedish sauna, complete with birch leaves and salt-water steam. 

 

Situated just steps away from the beach, it is the perfect location from which to make a bee-line and dive straight into the refreshing water as natives do.  

Nature Trail: We've carved out a nature trail that circles around the island making it easier to explore.   Along your journey you'll be able to spot millions of berries and other forest fruits.  Take along a picnic or a thermos of coffee or a bottle of wine to relax along the way.  

 

Sports & Games: Water sports available are sailing, water-skiing, fishing, and surfboard paddle surfing.  Land sports available are badminton and croquet.  There is a small swingset on the main lawn for younger children as well as a rope swing located behind the glass pavillion in the forest. 

 

Bird watching: Bird watching is a lot of fun and some of the birds we've seen on the island are white-tailed eagles and woodpeckers.  Every year a swan family comes to visit, usually starting in May with their goslings.  

 

Glass Pavillion: Along the nature trail stop at our six-sided glass pavillion and enjoy the view.  Or why not have lunch or an afternoon cocktail?

 

 

 

All over the island you will find in the summer months of June through September thousands of blueberries and hundreds of raspberries. 

 

Lingon berries (similar to cranberry) will also be spotted yet until they are a true deep red at the end of August or September you're betting off leaving them as they will be too tart for most palates.  

 

If you are very lucky you will find yellow chantarelles, a most prized mushroom.  More common in September are forest chantarelles which make lovely soups and sauces as well.
