Penikese Island

Today, Lindblad Expeditions introduces Penikese Island, part of the Elizabeth Island chain in Buzzard’s Bay, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Since the late 19th century, the island has contained a natural history school, a leprosy hospital for residents of Massachusetts, and a substance abuse treatment facility. All are gone now with only resident seabirds remaining, along with a few wind-worn, shingled rustic buildings in the classic, archetypal style of the Cape, set on a grassy plain overlooking the bay.
