Pool's Island


Drive alllll the way to the end of the road and you'll get to Pool's Island, an outcrop of smoothed boulders and pebbly beach often cloaked in a thick pea-soup fog. There's not a ton to do but soak up the lonely ambience and walk along several informal trails, all of which lead to somewhere haunted and beautiful.
