02 · A good day
Give the park a full morning or a full afternoon.
Walk, look for changing coastal landscapes, spend time by the water, and make space for the fort's history. The variety is what makes the visit feel complete.
03 · A local note
Bring curiosity, not a checklist.
The park changes with weather and season. Go ready to notice birds, breeze, light, and the way the water reshapes the day.
