Some guys tow small boats out to fish for tuna and bass, the water is very deep a short distance offshore. During summer you’ll see whales feeding from your beach chair.

The campers here are packed in like Sardines as the camping area is usually pretty small. And the beach is closed to all vehicles for nearly all of the summer due to piping plovers, so the season is limited.

But your sticker gets you 2 weeks of camping per year. Some campers stay in the nearby Province Lands visitor center when the beach is closed for plovers.
