Walker’s Point

The summer home of the Bush family, Walker’s Point has been visited by presidents, foreign heads of state and celebrities over the years.

For generations, though, it’s the Bush family themselves who have been the draw here. While the late George H.W. and Barbara Bush were much-beloved members of the community for many years, today you’re just as likely to find George W. and wife Laura, or their daughters Jenna and Barbara spending time at the compound, along with other family members.

Walker’s Point is not open to the public , but you can drive by or stop briefly at the scenic parking overlook to snap a quick picture. Vehicles may only stop in the designated parking area; stopping on the road is not permitted. To get to Walker’s Point, take Ocean Avenue from Dock Square for approximately two miles. The ride is beautiful in and of itself, with the Atlantic crashing against the rocks along the right side of the road. Just before you reach Walker’s Point you’ll see the special overlook spot (please obey the rules posted on the sign) on the right. Also overlooking the house and on the right is the Anchor to Windward, the town’s special tribute to “41” installed in 2009.
