The Billion Dollar View.
That's what the locals call it — and once you're up here, you'll see why.
From the deck at Hog Heaven you can see almost every island in the North Sound, plus a fair stretch of open Atlantic beyond. Sailors come up to plan their next anchorage. Visitors come up and forget where they parked.
Sunset is the headline act, but the real show is what happens after a passing rain — the light catches the water just right and a rainbow drops straight into the channel.
