Do it again next year?
I vote a solid yes - and I'll try to show up earlier next time. Doesn't have to be the same weekend, but I'm absolutely crazy about Bear Island. After 6pm, you get the island and beach to yourself, and hot showers to boot! It's a perfect set-up for a nice leisurely campout away from the crowds.

The length
Google maps says the island is about 3.8 miles from end to end. We hiked on the beach by the ocean. I didn't go on the other side, the sound side, but often its marshy and not hike-able. Anyone go back there?

On Sunday evening we hiked to the western end of the island and after a beautiful sunset could see fireworks going off in that direction. On the way back we could see fireworks going off over Emerald Isle. Pretty cool.

The fireworks were nice. That was the silver lining to it being a cloudy night and the full moon not being able to shine through
