Updates on the Island

We appreciate our visitors and recognize we have long been your escape from the everyday. For now, we want you to focus on staying healthy. Here is the current information on COVID-19 and how it impacts activity here on the Island.

We are excited to announce our beaches are now open with some specific guidelines in place. Groups can be no larger than 5, masks are recommended while on the beach (not in the water), social distancing of 6 feet mandatory, and shade structures must be 10 feet apart.

Many island businesses are operating at reduced capacity and local restaurants are offering limited dine-in, delivery, and curbside. Please check with individual businesses to verify whether they are open. We also urge you to follow the health and safety guidelines of your local municipality.

We are all in this together. We are committed to helping to keep the Island safe now and into the future.
