Big Mama reef

Built in 1925, by the Bethlehem Steel Company Incorporated of Wilmington, Delaware ( hull #3497 ) as the Stroudsburg for the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad of Lackawanna, New Jersey. The tug was later sold and renamed Breton, then Seminole, and then Brigitte Harper. In 1962, the tug was re-powered with a Fairbank-Morse 38D diesel engine, for a rated 1,800 horsepower. Later acquired by the Hay's Tug and Launch Company of Wallingford, Pennsylvania, and renamed Big Mama.

Mount Sinai Harbor / Jetties

Mount Sinai Harbor

Once you get there, suit up at your car and walk down the small stretch of beach till you get near the jetty. Enter the water at your leisure. Once in the water, you can swim north along the jetty to the tip. You may see fish, lobster, crabs and the sort. There are large openings in the rocks that form the jetty. Large enough in fact that you can almost swim into one. I don't advise doing this because getting stuck might be a frightening experience.
