Coastal conservation with salt marshes, tidal creeks, grassy dunes and scattered pines — great for wide landscape compositions, abstract water/reflection patterns at low tide and migratory shorebirds. Easy, unpaved trails and small parking off Monument Rd; no fee. Best light is sunrise and golden hour for warm tones and calm water; spring/fall offer peak bird activity. Expect mosquitoes in summer; bring waterproof shoes for muddy creek edges.
