It is located east of Clark's Island and west of Gurnet Point.
As a private beach, access is restricted to property owners, residents, and their guests.
Because there is no electrical connection with the mainland, houses operate under solar, wind, or propane power.
The nearest retail and service area is in Hall's Corner, Duxbury.
Entrance to the Gurnet Point and Saquish is guarded by security services and it is required that visitors check in prior to entering the beach.
