Swimming
At  high tide there is 9 to 12 feet of water off the dock.  Between high and low tides a sandbar will appear  making for good swimming in shallower water – great for kids.  At low tide there is a small beach where  you can also swim, lounge or play in the sand.  Of course, there is also the private portion of Wingersheek  Beach which is only minutes away by boat

Boating
The  property comes with a canoe (not shown), a single and two person kayak.  These are  perfect for  family outings to the beaches or for exploring the rivers and marshes across from the house.  Feeling adventurous?  Then head toward the open ocean. or boat to Annisquam Village and eat breakfast/ lunch at a restaurant right on the water or purchase fresh fish from the market.

Fishing
Fish right off the dock to catch stripers.   Last year, our record was 24 in an afternoon with 3 fish topping the  30+ inches.  Grab a canoe or kayak and  fish either the Annisquam or Goose Cove. Please don’t hesitate to call for  tips on how to fish off the dock and where to buy bait.

Clamming
 If  you have the appropriate license, you can dig for steamers at low tide or  across the water where beaches form at low tide.  You can also snoop around for surf clams across the river – these make excellent chowder.
 
Or, at high tide you can throw in a crab trap and, depending on the season, catch crabs.   Most are too small to eat but it’s a great activity for the  kids and will keep them occupied for some time.

Lounging About:  Yacht and Wildlife Watching
We have two large decks and plenty of chairs for relaxing.  The Upper deck has  awnings so you can enjoy the view in the shade. The lower deck is plus size  and sits right on the water’s edge.   Watch large yachts or fishing vessels stream past or enjoy the wildlife.  Grab a cup of coffee or a cold beer and  sit back and relax.
