Shells on the Beach
Island Inn owns about 200 yards of private beach, which most guests consider the highlight of the hotel. Of course, lounge chairs and umbrellas are provided. Even if it's too cold for a swim, you can always go seashell hunting, and later learn more about them at the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum. All hotel guests are welcome to a free marine biologist led beach-walk tour, which departs in the morning.
