Perfect place to spend a few hours on the trails. Pack that fishing rod too if the striped bass or mackerel are running. There are several small beaches located around the island. Do check out the pet cemetery that Governor Baxter built for his beloved pets. This is one of those slightly out of the way gems.

A really special beach. Parking is super tight so get there a little early and use the pay for parking lot. If you're there at low tide do look for the ship wreck on the north end of the beach.
