Presque Isle Harbor
Stockton Island
Stockton Island features the best docks in the Apostle Islands—it's the only true harbor offering full protection from winds in any direction. A large ranger station welcomes visitors, and the island offers numerous campsites nestled in the forest. Just a short walk from the dock is the famous Singing Sands Beach, where the quartz-rich sand makes a mysterious sound beneath your feet.
First Come First Serve
There is also a dock in Quarry Bay, but despite multiple docking options, Stockton Island remains a popular destination—and dock space is not guaranteed. It's strictly first-come, first-served, with a significant portion of the dock reserved for the Park Service and the Apostle Islands Cruise Service.
Stockton Island Cliffs & Sea Caves
Along the northeast shore of Stockton Island, sandstone cliffs rise sharply from the water, sheltering a series of small sea caves shaped by centuries of wind, waves, and ice. While more subtle than the famous formations on Devil’s Island, these caves offer a quieter, equally stunning glimpse into the island’s rugged beauty. Towering cliffs and dense boreal forest make this stretch of shoreline one of the most scenic and wild-feeling areas in the Apostle Islands.
Quarry Bay
Quarry Bay is also on the South Side of Stockton to the west of Presque Isle. This dock is on a nice beach with the trail system, it is a long walk to the Stockton Quarry.
