Comeaus Hill

Last Update November 28, 2004

Comeaus Hill is an excellent access point for paddling the Tusket Islands.  It has good access at any tide level and provides the shortest route out to the islands.  The area beween Comeaus Hill and Big Tusket Island can become very shallow at low tide and may have strong currents at mid-tide levels.  Heading out to the southwest will solve the low water situation if that is a problem.
