It is preferred that tobacco products not be consumed at Retreat Island but if you must smoke, dispose of cigarette butts in a container of sand and take the container with you. While alcohol is allowed for those 21 or older on the Island, you agree to drink responsibly, as being intoxicated near a body of water is dangerous and can be life threatening.

2. Use of the Island – Utilize the Island at your own risk. Never eat anything found in nature on the Island and do not drink the water found in, on or around the Island.
