Hoffman and Swinburne Island

From PaddlePedia

These islands are bird sanctuaries a few miles beyond the Verrazano Narrows (http://www.nycroads.com/crossings/verrazano-narrows/). You cannot beach on them. If you are paddling from the These islands are bird sanctuaries a few miles beyond the Verrazano Narrows (http://www.nycroads.com/crossings/verrazano-narrows/), consider a lunch break at South Beach, Staten Island.

Could you stop for lunch at Dyker Beach Park?

Seals have been sighted off of Swinburne Island during Spring 2006. A NYTimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/25/nyregion/25seals.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) article details the arrival of 250-lb harbor seals which arrive from the north and return when the weather warms.
