Description

At the parking lot for the Stillwell Hall Site, dune and beach access is blocked by fencing. Instead, head south on the multi-use path by the parking lot until you reach an opening in the fence leading toward beach. Follow the trail through a small canyon between massive dunes until you reach the beach.

Flora & Fauna

The dunes are mostly covered in non-native ice plant.
