Across the harbor we can explore the exceptionally rich intertidal world at a low tide and have a picnic before paddling back.

You may check in with us first and then park your car on the bluffs above the harbor in the public parking area for boaters. Be sure to park in a space designated for car rather than a car~trailer combination.
