What travelers are saying

Bring water!

Walk in a little and near the sign to watch for nesting birds you’ll see that some people took off and left their shoes – as it is somewhat easier to walk on the sand without shoes.

There was a lot of marine vegetation washing in with the tide, which was perfect for watching wildlife (plovers, terns and oystercatchers) but made swimming a little more interesting.

Amazing Dune Vistas

Do not leave your sandals at the trail start, even on a col day (70) your feet can get burned in the sand mid day!
