Guide
Good to know
Best for long beach walks
The 40-mile seashore with multiple access points allows for miles of uninterrupted walking with frequent seal sightings.
Visit shoulder seasons for solitude
Late October and winter offer peaceful exploration with minimal crowds and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
Plan for limited summer facilities
Some parking areas charge fees and facilities may have restricted hours or closures outside peak season.
Bring insect repellent for trails
Boardwalk and swamp trails can be buggy, particularly in summer months.
Wear layers and check weather
Conditions range from cold and windy to surprisingly warm, and Canadian fire smoke has caused visibility issues.
