It is an ideal setting to observe many migratory bird and waterfowl species in the fall and spring. On occasion, the state Coastal Fisheries Division offers nature walks through the area. Parking is available at the state beach. From the pavilion, there is a beautiful view back over the dunes of the Succotash Salt Marsh, a state-managed wetlands conservation area. On a clear day, Block Island is visible on the horizon.
Public parking is available all year and for a fee in the summer.
Located at 580 Succotash Road, this privately run marina has a boat ramp available to the public for a nominal fee. A bait shop, ship store, and engine repair services are also available. Restaurants are situated nearby. This site is not frequently used because there is no public parking available. The site and the ramp are in good condition, but on-street parking is limited.
