Description

The beach, located below the north end of the Coleman Memorial Bridge, provides year-round views of waterbirds. A brochure for this site can be found on the Gloucester County Parks, Recreation, and Tourism website which corresponds to a self-guided interpretive walk around the York River. The greatest bird diversity here occurs during fall migration and winter, but this is a site that can be checked at any time for potentially good finds. During warmer months, the weedy area between the parking lot and the water attracts butterflies and a few dragonflies that make for interesting viewing.
