Stayed here 2 nights. Neat view of the Jamestown Ferry but peaceful. We took the dinghy to Sandy Bay by going under the colonial Parkway. Sandy Bay turns into a loop around the original Jamestown and the replica. We docked the dinghy at the Billsberg Brewery and walked across the street to the Jamestown replica. We took our dog to shore in the dinghy at Jamestown Beach to do her business. 11 feet of water where we dropped the hook.
