Cockenoe Island

I loved this island. However, kayaking to it with all of our equipment was a little scary. I want to go back but in a real boat.

Horseshoe shaped island about one mile off the coast of Compo Beach in Westport. Great place to visit by kayak or boat (just not at low tide). Lots of boats moored in the cove over the weekend. It's a good place to beach-comb or relax. You can get a permit to camp there overnight.

Absolutely beautiful. But don't go there; I like having the beach all to myself!

beautiful island that takes you away from reality for a little while you're there. plenty of birds and wild life to see from the paddle board.

This is a beautiful -small island off Westport, CT. From Childhood I have sailed over here for the peace and the perspective - People do canoe and paddle board over - - - the birds nesting are wonderful. As children and teens we used to go to look at the WW2 cement bunkers that were supposedly used to watch for German submarines - - I have not been over there for awhile but at the time they were not safe and if the town has not filled them in they are worse now so be aware! The town of Westport does issue overnight camping passes if you are interested - but be aware that there are no facilities on the island so you have to bring your own -nwater, TOILET - food, etc. - AND YOU MUST CARRY OUT ALL THAT you bring in - - there is no trash pick up here -
