CHAPPY: THE BREACH IS GONE

Although it has been highly reported, it is still amazing to drive to Chappaquiddick from South Beach across Norton Point!  Many remember when a 2.5 mile strip of sand connected Chappy to Edgartown, until a harsh storm in 2007 created the breach at Norton Point. Since then avid fisherman and nature lovers accessed their favorite places from South Beach in Katama or Chappaquiddick.

Clearly the fact that once again Chappy and Edgartown are “connected” is very exciting.  There are many fishermen and beach goers enjoying the new topography and taking advantage of having access to more locations to set up camp and fish….

This part of the Island has always been beautiful and well protected by the Trustees of Reservations. The roads that are accessible are well identified as one passes protected areas where there are breeding piping plovers or sensitive plants and grasses.

This is a great time to visit or re-visit this beautiful part of the Island; the Trustees offers many different guided and independent tours using kayaks, canoes and safari vehicles.
