Plum Island Has Much to Offer:
We have miles of ocean front with beautiful beaches. The Parker River Wildlife Refuge is a wonderful place to visit
at the southern end of the Island. My favorite beach is Sandy Point or Parking lot 7. Pack a cooler and leave early for a parking space. You will find Sand dollars and other treasures.
We have three restaurants on the Island and one on the road to the Island. Two are within walking distance.
You can walk to the beach at anytime to enjoy the ocean. There is a play ground on the Island that is located at
the area we call the Point. This area of the Island is where the Merrimack River meets the Ocean. There is a dock
there when the fishing party boats leave for deep sea fishing. In the Evening boats leave for sunset cruises with
dinner. It is nice to sit there on a rock or the beach and watch the boats coming and going from the river to the Ocean.
The point is a very popular surf fishing area. Kayaks are popular in all the waterways of this area.
