We are on the side facing Treasure/Sleepers. Those lots all started out as seasonal rentals for tents, then later they allowed the renters to erect tent stands, then later small cabins. The rule was that you could then build, but it would have to be removed in 15 or 30 days or something if you lost your lease. A lot of the old cabins are those original structures, with improvements. If you look at the supports holding a lot of these places up, and it is a bit scary how unsecure it really is!

In the 80s, we would drive around the island at sunset, and my grandfather would look at the middle of the broads side and say nobody would ever build there because it was so steep and rocky...
