But don't worry too much about being shut out. There are more islands. A man once built a windmill to generate energy for a home he built on Angelica Island off Fairhaven.

Little Island is off Dartmouth. In Westport, there are several unnamed islands in the east and west branches of the Westport River. Not quite a Thousand Islands, but Southeastern Massachusetts has its share. They are seen only in summer by the folks on Plymouth Street in Lakeville. At the end of the road they park at the grass lot and walk over to the dock on the edge of Long Pond.
