Sandy Point Island : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sandy Point Island Sandy Point Island (more commonly referred to as Sandy Point) is a 35-acre island in Little Narragansett Bay. Once an extension of Napatree Point, Sandy Point is now its own entity. The 1938 Hurricane separated the peninsula, leaving Sandy Point a mile-long island and Napatree Point a shorter peninsula, still attached to the mainland. == Geography ==
The small island was made from the same longshore drift that created Napatree Point. The two pieces of land were one until the 1938 Hurricane tore several channels in the peninsula. The result was the separation of Napatree at the elbow, making Sandy Point an island. The land is low-lying and nearly all sand, aside from a few trees. The 35-acre island is one mile long, and is about one half mile north of Napatree Point. Although the connection between the two has been broken, the waves break at the point where the peninsula once was. The underwater remains of the peninsula makes the area dangerous for many boaters.
