I think it’s going to be the summer of dashed hopes….
Recently posted to the Thacher Island Facebook page:
The Thacher Island Association has made the difficult decision to close BOTH Straitsmouth and Thacher Islands to visitors for the 2020 season.
Kayaks and other types of watercraft will not be allowed to land, and visitors will not be permitted to explore the islands.
The Thacher and Straitsmouth launch service is being suspended for the entire season.
The 2020 Lighthouse Cruise has been cancelled.
The Thacher Island Association is already planning to welcome you back to the islands in 2021 and we hope to see you then. In the meantime, please enjoy the videos and historic photos on our website, and have a safe and healthy summer.
Good Morning Gloucester
