This is an intro trip with island camping. We will be camping at the Sand Island Group Site B, it is a 3-mile crossing from the mainland to Sand Island. Really nice sea caves, Sand Island Lighthouse, light hike, explore history. Second day we could paddle to the sea caves in the morning light, then on to Raspberry Island lighthouse with a stop on York Island. York is a great beach. Paddle back to little Sand Bay on Sunday.
