A Little about the island:
Stuart Island is 2.881 sq miles. It is home to 2 communities of full-time and part-time residences, a one room school house and two airstrips. Popular hikes include a walk to the one room school house and a stop at the “Treasure chest”. Another popular hike is a longer walk out to Turn Point Light Station. Destinations are accessible by a county road.
What is the Treasure Chest? This is a little shop, accessible only by hiking up the county road. You can buy T-shirts, sweatshirts, cards, etc from local artists. The store is all on your honor you can bring cash or pay online. It is run by Ezra and Loie Benson who live on the island and raised their kids there. (They also often have water - which you may want after the long trek uphill to get to the shop / school)

We have stayed at Reid harbor 8/2022, 8/2023, 8/2024
This is one of our favorite locations in the SJI for overnight moorage. Each year we plan on staying one night but often end up spending two. Reid harbor is very well protected, so even when the weather is a little rough it is a lovely spot.
We love this location for getting off the boat and hiking on the island. We always walk up the road to the one room schoolhouse and stop and get some goodies at the treasure chest. We pay online (which we often have to wait until we are in another location as cell coverage isn’t very good inside of Reid Harbor). Pay at https://www.boundarypasstraders.com if you want a further hike, the hike out to the lighthouse along the county road provides amazing views.
Walkway up to the pay station on Reid Harbor is quite steep, it was recently updated, but remains very steep.
There are no other services or provisions available at this location
