Description
The area is part of a farm and subject to grazing, though the tip of the point has been fenced off for conservation. The land is generally low-lying with a varied habitat of maritime heath in the higher areas and rocky and sandy beaches on the coast. Dune systems cover much of the southern point. Coastal greens interspersed with permanent and seasonal ponds provide habitat for waders and waterfowl.

“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
