This protected area is rich in biodiversity, serving as a critical habitat for sea turtles during nesting season and home to a variety of bird species, including pelicans and shorebirds. The park covers 648 acres, providing visitors opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities like swimming, fishing, and snorkeling. Historically, the park's coastline was used for military training exercises during World War II, leaving behind intriguing remnants.
