Lovely chill spot or like most people you can go fishing, also the store serves food which isn't bad at all, it is windy and could be a little cool for some as the sun sets but overall great place to unwind.

Although its kept quite clean there are way too many people trying to fish EVERYWHERE around the park including the pier. Impossible for a quietness, can’t take photos, cars going in and out endlessly.

Great place when the water is high. But low tide fish are not biting.

Nice place and adequate boat ramp and good also free for fishing. Bait shop is close and accessible by boat as well. Entire area is alright if you are there to fish, however it would go a long way it more effort was out into keeping the area clean. Bathrooms broken and looked to be replaced by portables. Bait shop is nice but also could use a deep clean. Outside picnic areas and fishing dock are worth the trip still. 🎣

My favorite fishing spot every time we come to town! It can get busy in the evenings, and it's usually a bit on the windy side. I highly recommend bringing bug spray as well because the mosquitoes can be brutal. We've been dishing here for over 30 years and between the view and the fish, you could spend hours out here.
