Tips from parents
- Go in the morning, when fishing boats come in and sell fresh catch straight off the dock. Kids tend to enjoy watching the action.
- Look for the signs along the pier about the marine sanctuary and sustainable fishing. They are a good way to start a conversation with curious kids.
- Public restrooms, picnic areas and restaurants are on site. Parking is signed and has been reported as free.
- Bring a windbreaker, since the coast gets chilly and breezy. Keep little ones close to the pier edge and the working docks.
