Bar Island bar

Twice a day the harbor pulls back and leaves a road of gravel to an island.

Walk down Bridge Street at the right hour and the pavement continues onto wet gravel, half a mile of it, to an island otherwise cut off by Frenchman Bay. The town is named for this bar. The island trail climbs to an overlook of the town with Cadillac behind it, past old farm foundations and the ruins of a cottage-era estate.
