Gwynn's Island is perfect for boating and nature enthusiasts. Launch your boat at the public boat ramp less than a mile away, and inquire about docking options at our property. No boat? Then use our two kayaks to tour surrounding waterways and a quiet sandy beach within paddling distance. You can also choose to hire a local captain who will pick you up from our property's dock, and take you on a sunset cruise or guided fishing trip.
For more island fun, cruise down the wooded lane by our house on our two bikes, visit the Gwynn's Island Museum, or dine at the Hole in the Wall waterfront restaurant. And only ten minutes away, visit the town of Mathews for fantastic vintage boutiques, art galleries, local restaurants, weekly Farmer's Market, beautiful nearby beaches and much more.
Make sure to pack your rods and reels for fishing and your water shoes for swimming in the shallow waters right off our dock, and expect frequent visits to the property by osprey, eagles, herons, ducks, geese, snakes, deer, raccoons, and crabs.
Basic crabbing gear (hand lines and small manually-operated trap) is provided, along with an assortment of fun games and toys for both children and adults - corn hole, ladder toss, darts, checkers/chess, jigsaw puzzles, building blocks.
