Access for the disabled is good, with accessible facilities including the boat launch and boarding sites, four campsites and areas for fishing, swimming and picnicking. Surf casting, boating, sunning and swimming are the primary day uses at the state park. You may also crab or dig clams. While the park is closed in winter, the boat launch remains open year-round. Birdwatching is good, and the ponies are a treat, but visitors must keep their distance.
Cyclists are welcome on bike paths, and cycling in is a good way to beat the traffic.
