Come for nature observation and hiking
The park offers excellent wildlife viewing, well-maintained trails, and an environmental learning center.
Visit mid-week or off-season for crowds
Weekday visits in fall, winter, or early spring offer a quiet, uncrowded experience.
Book camping well in advance
Both campgrounds fill up quickly, especially on weekends, so reserve your site early.
Expect abundant shells, not wide sandy beach
The beach is covered with crushed shells and natural surfaces, making it ideal for shelling but unpleasant for swimming.
Larger RVs may not fit comfortably
Campsites are narrow and tight, making parking difficult for RVs over 32 feet.
