BEST PATH TO THE BOUGHTON ISLAND BEACH

Bruce Point Beach House is located across from Boughton Island and a one mile long sand spit. As per the photo below, the old channel use to run between the end of the sand spit and the mainland, but countless storms have all but shut off this flow. The sand spit is growing by 15 feet per year and will eventually bridge the gap.

You can walk to the island at low tide and the best way to get there is to walk to the left once you get on the Bruce Point Beach for a few hundred feet to where the sand bars meet the mainland. You can then walk the sandbar to the island. If you try and walk straight out from the path, you will have to cross the old channel and it is a bit muddy. If you are on the island and the tide starts to rise, you should head back to Bruce Point but there is no need to panic as he tide rises very slowly and there are no deep holes to have to worry about, just follow the sandbars back.
