The times I've been there, there was a bridge on either side, but you'd be swimming to get there. Perhaps it's changed, that was 5ish years ago?

But it's near major highways, only a couple of miles from an Interstate, and directly across the bay, maybe 2000 feet away from a Naval Air Station. It's not exactly an isolated Miskatonic U. The PCs will be dealing with problems because they're PCs, and because in an urban fantasy typically mundanes don't understand and can't help, not because they're distant from aid or fortified on defensible terrain.

True, but having been there during a storm, you wouldn't want to be out on a bridge when it's windy and wet. The Gulf or the bay would be rather hazardous as well.
It feels more isolated when you are there and evacuating would be nightmare in an emergency.
Perhaps this is a better view of what it would be like on a clear day.
