| | The Kokopelli Yacht Club |
 | | Oak Island is about one (1) square mile in area, with about 45 houses located on the east and south sides and a bird sanctuary (egrets, ibises, green herons, seagulls, great blue herons, arctic terns, ospreys, barn swallows, geese, swans, skimmer gulls, etc.) covering the remainder of the horse-shoe shaped island. |
 | | “Kokopelli”, distinguished by his hunch-back, dancing pose, and flute, was a playful, carefree fertility god, prankster, healer and story teller in native american lore who traveled the southwest and was said to be responsible for bringing the changing of winter to spring, assuring success in hunting and growing crops, and for human conception. |
 | | Guests of the Kokopelli Yacht Club arriving by car, must park in a parking lot just off the Ocean Parkway (about one mile west of Captree Park and about 15 miles East of Jones Beach State Park) where they will be met (by appointment only - 631-665-1867) and ferried to the island. |
