About Swan's Island
"A place of serenity and natural beauty, the island is entirely devoid of tourist trappings, making a visit a true step back in time. Although it's only four miles long, its 7,000 acres of coastline feature fine sand beaches, primordial cliffs, hidden rocky coves and eye-popping views of all the heavenly bodies in the pitch-black evening sky"
-Susan Schaefer
