A bird checklist available at the park lists 321 recorded species, of which 131 have nesting records. Resident amphibians include the rare Fowler's toad, and there are a variety of harmless reptiles such as the eastern hog-nosed and black garter snakes. In early June, up to seven species of turtle can be seen making their annual trek from the marshes to the sand dunes to lay their eggs. Park Facilities and Activities Long Point has been a popular recreational area with bird watchers, anglers, campers and boaters for well over a century. All campsites are within a five minute walk of the beach.

Swimmers will enjoy the 2,000 metres of sandy beach and clean, shallow waters. There is also a children's playground and a day-use picnic area. Access to most of the point is restricted.
