A small island is connected by a sandbar about 200 feet to the shore. Locals pull up their boats along both sides of the sandbar & float / sit in the sandy shallow water, grill out on their boats and party.

Nearest boat ramp directions by land & water
There is a free public boat ramp located 5 minutes away. Use google maps and get directions to:
Wildlife Landing
North Carolina 27842
Navigating to Sunnyside Cottage by water:
When navigating back by water from the boat ramp, take a right out of the boat ramp cove. You’ll see Sandy Trace townhouses on your right, continue past them and the next cove. Sunnyside is located in the next cove to your right. It is in the back left corner of the cove, with the double boat house and sand beach.

Boat rentals
I recommend Stone House Timber Lodge for boat rentals. It's about a 15 min drive away by boat and by land. Their prices have typically been the best on the lake.
You can rent tubes for the boat here too.
Book in advance!
