The soothing sound of tidewater gently lapping at the shore ensures some of the all-time best nights of sleep you ll ever experience. South Beach was made for beachcombing and depending on the tide, tide pools offer hours of fun exploration. Toddlers, with their insatiable curiosity, are especially in heaven here. In summers, the Cove s shallow water is warmed to the point that wading, and even a full body dip, are good ideas. With a pavilion, swings, picnic tables, and large lawn perfect for tossing a Frisbee, Shaw Island County Park makes for a worthwhile day-use park.
Small boats are available for rent also.
Because Shaw is a mostly flat island, biking here is a great idea. While it s true that there s not much on Shaw Island, as this county park proves, what is here is loaded with peace and quiet. The beach and park are just ahead. Send us your feedback.
