We absolutely loved the island and would not hesitate to stay here again. The view from the condo was beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. We have definitely never been to a beach area with so many different types of birds. We loved that we could watch the sunrise from the deck, too.
The beach is definitely different from a typical beach, but we were fascinated by how quickly the tides came in and out and how huge the beach gets at low tide. If you are looking for lots of waves, this isn't the place. For us it was great, though, and I think it would be really nice for families with young children. We love that there are no crowds and tons of space to spread out. We also enjoyed walking the beach as far as we possibly could towards the state park end at low tide. It was otherworldly.
The state park itself is definitely worth a visit. The "ghost beach" was neat to see, the lighthouse complex was interesting, and the beach there looked nice. My husband enjoyed riding his bike from the condo and exploring the state park trails.
Thanks for a great place to stay and explore!
