Venture to Bear Island and reward yourself with vivid memories of one of
the most unspoiled beaches on the Atlantic coast. Accessible only by passenger
ferry or private boat, there's just one thing at Hammocks Beach that's
crowded—the list of things to do.
Stroll the beach with laughing gulls and sandpipers. Cast a baited hook into
endless rows of foaming breakers. Discover tiny specimens of marine life in
tidal pools and mudflats. Use a camera or paintbrush to capture the green and
gold grasses that color the salt marshes. Spend the night among the sand dunes,
or simply bask in the sun and do nothing at all.
Secluded and tranquil, free from intruding commercialism, Hammocks Beach may not
be for everyone, but the island is a retreat for people who welcome the
challenges of relentless sun, sand, sea and sky.

changed. Click here to read a news release about the modified ferry schedule, or
