Yeah ok its a salt water pond that you cant get to in april no birds no nothing kinda boring don't go out of your way to see it

We love going to Block on our boat, entering the Great Salt Pond is always a thrill. Clamming is great as is squidding at night. We stay at Champlins, but used to anchor out. Listen for Aldo shouting "Andiamo" as he delivers pastries and coffee by boat.

The critters are very cool, go at low tide and check out the fiddler crabs. Go at high tide and catch some hermit crabs. Lots of people out clamming - it was fun to watch and help out.
