Felt like we were cruising into the lost world. Beautiful, warm water,safe harbor. The island itself is great for hiking and we saw eagles. Barely a soul around.

Anchored out one night. Very secluded and quiet even though there were three other boats. Good protection from the winds.

We pontooned out to Harbor Island and had a blast. It was beautiful!!A bit buggy, and the sun and sand were hot, but the beach was awesome and thoroughly enjoyable. We didn’t explore too much of the woods, but there were a few trails!A warning, the water is fairly shallow at many points of the crossing, we saw a boat ripping along, hit a little shallow spot and blow up their engine, so just be mindful of where you’re at.Highly recommend visiting!

We love boating over to the cove on the island to hang out and eat some lunch and stroll a bit through the hills and forest there. What a great way to spend a relaxing afternoon!

The island was beautiful. Fossil ledge was incredible. It is a gorgeous island and it is not very big. It is the third time I have been on this island and I plan on going many more times in my lifetime

Beautiful scenery. The harbor is very secluded and peaceful. Walking even 20-30 feet from the shore feels like entering a different world.
