The
Tinker Property
Tinker Property After Clearing
The
Tinker Property consists of 20 acres of untouched wildnerness
next to the island cemetary. This parcel of land was donated
to the town by Katherine Tinker and is to be used for educational
purposes for Yarmouth's students. There a a few trails
and an abundance of wildlife, including owls, deer, monarch
habitat. Even an occasional fischer cat has been observed
on Tinker!
Sandy
Point Beach
Yarmouth's
only public sandy beach, Sandy Point Beach is located
just over the bridge to our islands. There
are no lifeguards on duty. This spot is an
excellent entering point for kayakers, and was the
site of a shipyard in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Parking is available. |

Madeline
Point
Instead
of turning left on Wharf Road, take a right to find this off-the-beaten-track
swimming hole. You can swim in warm waters and find lots of
sea life.
If
you have a point of interest you would like listed, please
email the info to our webmaster at EnviroRX@maine.rr.com.
Thank You!

What's
Under The Dock?
Bet you always wondered what you could find under the docks
of Cousins and Littlejohn Islands. It just so happens that
CLIIA Board Member and local artist, Sue Hammerland DeSmith,
has put together a resource that answers this question.
Check it out!
Camp
Soci
Located
across from the Sandy Point Beac, this camp has a trail overlooking
the bay, a large picnic area, and some tent platforms. Overnight
users must obtain permission by contact Yarmouth's Rec. Dept
at 846-2406.
Littlejohn
Causeway
This
bridge has undergone its 3rd or 4th revitalization, and it
looks like the newest version will last a long time. While
the bridge is cement, the waterway underneath it has been
widened somewhat; hopefully, helping to improve the water
quality in the inward bay.
