Just a fun little photo montage of my trip to Plum island last weekend…


Plum Island is a protected wildlife preserve off the coast of Mass. It’s about 6.5 miles long, and is fairly remote. There are no houses, and very few people go there… hard to find these days…

Plumb Island

Some of these dunes were 30 feet tall… I jumped off a few of them… nice tranny…

The water was pretty cold, but it was fun to swim in the ocean again.

A local hottie…

We drank a couple bottles of nice red…

Me and my baby…

Great photography too!

We went riding in Newburyport and Plum Island a couple weeks ago. Nice area. Good photos. Did you get eaten by the green-headed flies? They sucked when we were there. Could draft us riding at 20mph and keep biting...

Do they have a ferry that takes you over? Surprisingly I live in MA yet have not had a chance to make it out there.

I've been to the Cape, but never heard of this place. Is it far from there?

And I'm with everyone else on the shellhenge. Nice pics!

Plum Island is actually road acessible...

We stayed at a Marriott in Amesbury... it was in the middle of Plum Island and Hampton Beach which we visited the 2nd day.

And yes, the green headed flies had me for breakfast, lunch and dinner... :angry:

It's on the north shore (as opposed to the cape, which is south). There's a commuter line from boston that goes as far as newbury. To answer the other question, plum island is not far from land, so there's just a bridge that goes over the little waterway to it. Road is a bit shady with traffic and bad surface. Nice when you get there, tho.

good riding in gloucester.

i am embarrassed to admit that for 10 years i've lived about 20 miles away from plum island and i've never been there. sounds like i've got some weekend plans.

Did you get some clam chowdah?

Oh HELL NO! I do NOT eat ANY kinda seafood...I am the most picky eater...it's horrible, really...afraid of lots of stuff...I could live off the childrens menu at any restaurant...grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, chicken strips...
