THACHER ISLAND (the water around the ’dead light’ is called "Flynn’s Place") - Access: Boat

Thacher Island (named for a family shipwrecked there in the 1600s) is about 3/4 mile east of Emerson Point. About 1/2 mile long and 1/4 mile wide, Thacher Island boasts two lighthouses. The northern lighthouse is not lit. The water around the island is about 12 feet deep at a distance of 50 yards from shore. The northwest area is very shallow while the opposite coast is more abrupt in its profile.
