Description
Officially part of Crow Island, the Crow Island Ledges are a series of exposed granite outcrops located in eastern Frenchman Bay less than a quarter mile from Grindstone Neck. At low tide they are connected to Crow Island to the southeast, which has an aging cabin on it. Visitors may walk the shoreline of Crow Island and interior wooded area but are asked to steer clear of any structures.
Crow Island is open for day use only. If looking to camp on the ledges, the best landing is on the small beach on the southeast side. Some camping possibilities include the high tide portion of the small southeast beach or atop a large adjacent rock. The ledges are completely exposed and unprotected from prevailing winds and ocean swells. Visitors should be aware that in certain conditions they can fully wash over.
