You can go out as far as you care to. We have gone completely around and way past the island and also along the coast in either direction. Also straight out into deeper water. Always see many creatures and fish. Have a great lobster lunch, bottle of wine and chill the go out again. Toss a rock into the water for the dogs to chase and chat with Andrew and his wife and their twin girls. They must be 3-4 now. Bring em some clothes.
