Entrance fees will be reduced by half on January 1, 2001. There are no ticket refunds or exchanges for cancellations, no shows, weather, or late arrivals. Refunds are issued only when the Reserve staff must cancel a walk. These popular three-mile walks over rolling sand dunes last about two and a half hours and are considered moderately strenuous. Public Seal Walks are conducted rain or shine.
Winter weather can be very cold and windy, even on sunny days.
Rain is frequent and the trail may be muddy. Visitors should bring hooded rain gear, layered clothing, and sturdy walking shoes. For safety reasons, use of umbrellas is not permitted on the walks. Food and beverages are not sold at the Reserve, but picnic tables are available for use before or after guided walks. Youth groups require adult chaperones.
