Description

This public county park provides a sheltered shoreline and boat launch, serving as a primary gateway to offshore reefs and local landmarks like Nahuna Point. Beyond the water, the site features grassy grounds for picnicking, offering a space to relax away from the sand. It functions as a central launch hub for kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkel tours, often used to access the nearby area known as Turtle Town. With a high probability of seeing sea turtles in the immediate bay, the park balances its role as an active gear-entry point with the calm atmosphere of a coastal recreational area.
