Clark's Island, Historic island in Plymouth Bay, Massachusetts.
The 17-acre Clark's Island sits in Plymouth Bay, featuring natural landscapes and Pulpit Rock among private residences and conservation areas.
In December 1620, Pilgrim explorers led by John Clark landed on this island during their search for an appropriate settlement location.
The island's Pulpit Rock marks the location of the Pilgrims' first worship service, with an inscription from William Bradford's historical journal.
Access to Clark's Island is limited to Duxbury Rural and Historical Society members and permitted from sunrise to sunset during summer months.
Writers Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, and Truman Capote visited this island, contributing to its literary connections.
