Sightseeing

The most beautiful bird spotting ever! Very secluded and often requires four wheel drive to get to the end. Be careful, avoid dangerous tides and strangers, fill up in gas. There is no cell service!

City advice

Getting around

Don’t get a TICKET!!

Don’t speed, and come to a complete stop at all stop signs and right on red. The local PD is a stickler! I wouldn’t want your vacation ruined
Getting around

Beach Pass

A beach parking permit is necessary to drive on the local beach. You can pick one up at the local Stripes gas station for $12/year.
