Description
This tiny island is located west of Webber Island and east of Flying Point in Hockomock Bay. The owners have recently renovated the cabin and ask that visitors let the office know if anything is amiss with the cabin or elsewhere on Peggy. Camping is allowed on the deck of the cabin, which is large enough for a single 4-person tent. If the owners are using the island, please choose another camping destination.
There are several active osprey nests in the area, notably on the tiny island due south of Peggy and on Flying Point, so please watch carefully and give a wide berth to osprey nests during May and June.
Best access for this charming island is the grassy bar at the north end of the island.
