Napatree Hike to Seek Oyster Catchers

Description

Napatree Point, a mile-long ribbon of sand and dune, runs west from Watch Hill towards Fisher’s Island.  At the turn of the century the spit was home to Ft. Mansfield, an installation of large naval guns; in 1938 dozens of homes were destroyed in the great hurricane. Today Napatree Point is a conservation area and a wonderful place to see shore birds, including American Oyster Catchers. Join the Weekapaug Inn Naturalist for a 3-hour hike across this stunning historical site.  Visit www.weekapauginn.com/events-calendar to register.  9:00 am to 12:00 pm; $20/person (plus tax & gratuity)
