Small coastal preserve with salt marsh, tidal creeks, meadow trails and scattered pines—great for intimate landscapes, reflected water patterns, shorebirds and seasonal color. Best at golden hour and low wind for mirror reflections; migration and late-summer shorebird activity can be rewarding. Trails and short boardwalks are easy; parking is limited at the trailhead on Benner Rd. No permit typically required—check local signs. Weekday mornings have the fewest visitors; fall brings dramatic hues
