"Windmill Point Resort" a White Stone Travel Page by grandmaR

We have tried to go to Windmill Point twice. The first time in 2001, we were blown away by a storm and ended up taking refuge in the York River. The second time we finally got there, but the resort facilities were not open for the season. White Stone is the nearest town with a post office, but it is 9 miles or more away by road.

The photo is the side of the entrance channel. The otter is the large dark object closest to the sand point.

For the account of the visit, see the travelogue.

White Stone - the town

Nat commented that it was nice to read about small towns near where he lived, so I (procrastinating) looked up White Stone to see what I could find out about it. I have not been there, but this is what the internet has to say about it.
