Reviews
We were looking for tide pools while on our vacation and we found this place in our last day unfortunately. It was a great place to discover hermit crabs, crabs, small fish and plenty of snails. So, bring your water shoes, net and bucket. It was nice to get away from the crowds. Seemed liked it was a favorite spot amongst the locals with people enjoying the beach, picnicking or bbqing.
Was very nice! View was gorgeous, not too crowded- and attendant at front was super kind!
Absolutely amazing place to walk, have lunch and just enjoy the ocean. Plenty of parking and very clean restrooms
Not much to see for ruins, but the walking trails are perfect for seeing three lighthouses and general enjoyment of the point. I highly recommend and I look forward to when I can return.
A sprawling magical place with all kinds of views – ocean, rocks, beach, lighthouses, wooded areas, lily ponds. Excellent for plein air painters. For non residents it’s a bit pricey at 20 (as of 2024) so fill your car with family, friends and dogs for the day. It’s a perfect place to take kids for a technology break.
