Year-round residents are first and foremost an island community, a group of neighbors who depend on each other for support and goodwill throughout the long winter months.

After Memorial Day, the island turns into a bustling summer retreat with the return of the "summer people" and day-trippers who take the ferry out to walk or bicycle around the island.
