They always do a great job. I really appreciate that they schedule with the pets comfort in mind. The pet is seen promptly when you arrive and they text you as soon as your pet is finished. Thus, your pet doesn’t have to stay for a long time in a kennel. Reduces their stress and contributes to a good experience for your pet.

We did not get to experience the summer on this vast beach. We wanted to venture out of our hotel and chose to walk on the beach in the cold weather. There's a lot of parking and a bathroom, which was closed due to seasonal hours. At this time, there was no fee to enter as we were the only ones there. Hopefully I get another layover here during the summer. I will definitely return.

What a lovely way to spend a few hours! The park has a thoughtful, integrated design bringing recreation and nature together. I brought a book to read, I explored the pier and nature trails, I saw some waterfowl. The beautiful sculptures represent local wildlife. There is a constant noise from overhead traffic on the bridge (8 lanes). Nice clean restrooms.
