Camping on Thacher Island is a fun getaway. The island has lighthouses, rocky coves, paths to explore, and even a graveyard
to visit in the wee hours of the morning if you are so inclined...

gear out to the island in or on your kayaks, and you will probably need to carry some of the group food and gear in addition to your
own.
