Plan for nature walks and kayaking
The park excels as a destination for hiking through maritime forest trails, bird watching, and kayak rentals.
Visit in off-season for calm water
Fall and winter visits offer peaceful conditions, beautiful views, and minimal crowds compared to summer peak season.
Arrive early to secure parking
The lot is small and fills quickly on weekends and warm days, with the park turning away visitors.
Wear water shoes on the beach
The beach is rocky and pebbly rather than sandy, making barefoot walking uncomfortable and potentially painful.
Bring bug spray for wooded areas
Mosquitoes and horseflies are present, particularly in the forest and along wooded paths during warm months.
