Parking is scarce, at the top of a dirt road, but the easy walking trail is well worth the hunt.
After walking along the rocky shoreline, one of our favorite things to do here is to look through the viewfinders perched high up on Todd's Point to look for ships on the horizon. In 1946 the park was donated to the state by millionaire Walter Reid, a businessman who made his fortune in the railroad. Reid was a part-time Georgetown resident, and some of his relatives still live here. The price will get you parking and all-day use of the park, which is open from 9 AM to sunset. The park is open year-round and has lifeguards from the middle of June to the end of August.
