The island is Plum Island. It is a barrier island and has many beaches along its length. The populated part is split between Newbury and Newburyport. The southern 2/3 of the island is the Parker National Wildlife Refuge and Sandy Point - no houses - only nature. It is just five minutes from downtown Newburyport which is a beautiful old ship building port - my family and I live in Newburyport and have been there for the last 25 years.
