From Rt 1A High Road, turn onto Rolfe’s Lane and travel .5 miles to its end. Turn right onto the Plum Island Turnpike. Continue 2 miles, crossing the little bridge to Plum Island. Take your first right onto Sunset Drive and travel .5 miles to the refuge entrance. (Or if you proceed straight, you might find the ice cream stand by the beach open, but only temporary parking.)

~ In your Tiny Kitchen Area ~
In your tiny kitchen there is a small refrigerator, microwave & coffee maker. In the frig there are yogurts, apples, muffins, bottled water, cold-brewed and ground coffee, and half & half. You'll also find plates, cups, wine glasses, flatware, coffee filters, granola, tea, sugar, and stevia. You can make your own coffee with the Mr. Coffee or try some cold-brewed that's ready to go - mix 1/2 water with ice or heated. Our ground coffee is from Hoganbrotherscoffee.com and wonderful for coffee lovers. Our well-water is great, but you can also use the Brita water filter pitcher.
