The local wharf, a community meeting place, is where men gather every morning to discuss the weather or the issues. The waterfront is lined with fishing stages and boats. When you leave the wharf you go "across the Tickle" to Fox Island. On either side are stony beaches and below Fox Island is a pond, famous for being bottomless. Fox Island is approximately 243 feet high with two distinct plateaus, the lower locally known as "The Porch." The Porch has trenches, evidence of the fortifications established here in 1711 by Captain Crane.
