While on the ferry you have a
good chance to see dolphins.
They are very playful and it is
always fun to watch them
jumping from the water.
Hiking is available via a
boardwalk and nature trails that
go through a coastal maritime
forest and sand dunes to a
beach overlook.
Guided tours are available on the
weekends. At the Visitor Center
you may pick up a brochure and
trail guide.
There are a lot of birds you may
expect here, including ospreys,
bald eagles, brown pelicans,
great blue herons to mention just
a few. On the beach you may
see tracks of green sea turtles.
Park is open year round except
for Christmas, operating hours
are 9:00 am through 5:30 pm
daily. Peak times are March
through Labor Day, and the
Christmas season.
