Small but very informative museum, short (12") movies about the area running constantly, gift shop, friendly helpful staff to give info on the whole seashore area. 2 hiking trails right on the property. One has markers in Braille and a rope guided path.

We strongly recommend the salt marsh trail. If you have kids that like to get patches or badges, ask for the junior ranger booklet. Once they complete the booklet. the rangers will... More
