Star Island is the perfect place to spend a hot summers day. We took the 9:15 ferry from Rye, NH and arrived on the island a half-hour later. I managed to spot a harbor porpoise on the ride out. We walked around a bit, read our books, had lunch at a bench overlooking the sea and even went for a swim. We were sad to leave on the 3:40 ferry back. For those wanting a longer stay, you can attend one of the many conference programs at the Oceanic Hotel (pictured in the background).

Ah, my neck of the woods! The college where I used to work held intensive classes on Star Island every August
I’m envious. I’d really like to spend more than a day here sometime. Cheers
🙂
sounds like a peaceful time…📖 🏊♀️ 🥘 fun!
Thank you Hedy. It was very peaceful. We didn’t want to leave.
Your lovely card arrived today! Thanks so much for thinking of me!! 😄 Cheers!
That was fast. You’re most welcome. Cheers
Oh, I love this photo angle of the hotel and buildings with folks on the beach. We’re planning a trip out before the summer is over as a granddaughter is a Pelican, one of the young staff on the island.
Thank you so much. Until I arrived on the island, I’d forgotten that they called the staff there “Pelicans”. That is so cool that she is doing that.
