Local Inspirations: "Carteret Lights" and "Spirit of Conchs Point"
"Spirit of Conchs Point" is about the old dock, the truly community one we had before the new mini-park came into being. In many ways it was friendlier and more accessible. The current gazebo is a pass-through with really awful no-back bench seating, hardly a good place to hang out or gather. The community used to have fish fries and cook-outs at the point. No longer. No facilities any more.
What we have today is a floating dock where people I've never seen before come to fish or sun. Dogs must be on leashes and I think the park closes at sundown. I miss the old unregulated dock and the "Barfinder" aka "S.S.Weed." Nothing stays the same and I am lucky I was here for many of the years before Ophelia took it all out and the town took over.
