    I was fortunate enough to have a best friend who’s family has a shack and i spend every NYE down there away from the crowds. It’s an incredible piece of land and i can see the shacks mean absolutely everything to the families that own them ❤

    I camped down there with my stepson over a long weekend a number of years ago and it was a blissful experience. Long may it continue 🙏🙏

    I spent many years here fishing and caught a 70lb Jewfish back in 1988.Walking down the hill and seeing the huts and the views is something special
