Its landscape includes heritage trees and colonial-era architecture, notably the Beaulieu House which dates back to the 1910s.

Book the barbecue pits well in advance through the official NParks portal if planning a group meal.

Wear water shoes if you plan to walk near the rocky shoreline to avoid cuts from oyster shells or debris.
