Second Sand Beach
15 miles away
Second Sand Beach is one of the prettiest places in I have ever been and it offers a wonderfully sandy beach with crystal clear water.

However, Isle Royale is over 100 miles (by boat) from Second Sand Beach, Second Sand Beach IS part of Sand Bay, Rock Point is private property (not accessible by the public) and the Silver River empties a considerable distance away....
