This 186-acre wooded park has numerous attractions, including a long sandy stretch of beach, ruins of early structures, a Martello tower and 39+ km of easy walking trails, many of which are wheelchair-accessible. The park was hit rather severly by Hurricane Juan, so donations to the park are welcome.
