Open Ponds Trail

04/14/22

This trail goes along a section of untouched sandy dunes and pools. There are so many birds and sea life that can be seen through here. There are dunes you can walk over and have a bit of an elevated view upon. You get a secluded feel when going for a stroll on this trail. I’d highly recommend anyone staying nearby to take the time to visit this park and trail.
