This is a truly beautiful spot. On the Atlantic side, you can see dolphins, porpoises, piping plovers, sand pipers, gulls, terns, and more. On the bay side, you have mud flats with snails, clams, horseshoe crabs, flounder... And there are the lighthouses and breakwaters. It's fragile, so stay off the dunes that are marked off. Pay your fee to get in and consider it a donation.

I remember the days when one could walk all around the Cape, a lovely 3 mile walk. This isn't possible now, as part of the beach front has to be protected from humans and dogs.

I suggest going to the Atlantic side in the late afternoon, enjoy the surf, then go over to the Bay side to watch the sunset. You will be really hungry, so have plans for seafood!
