Very beautiful environment. The solitude of the environment along the sea beach will make the mind indifferent. There are good facilities for biking. You can also witness an extraordinary right in life. A lot of people crowd here. But at some time of the year there is some space here. The main attraction of this beach is the incredibly beautiful color of the sea water and the color of the sky. Those who have the experience of staying in a tent at night will never forget that memory.

Understand you will be pedaling a bike or hiking 6 miles in from Little Beach State Park, 5 miles of which run through Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, then walking/pushing a loaded or not bike along a deep sand road to the campsites in the west siide of the dunes. It's another 1/2 mile along deep sand road through wild dunes to the oceanfront, you can camp on oceanfront up near dune line, and beach patrol rides by occasionally. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO marine environment can turn harsh, 1" horse flies abound along the shore during the day, so lots of strong bug repellent is critical--they fly circles around you in 2s or 3s ,and were driving some people to quickly leave. They land and bite hard! After sunset or earlier/later in season , they were not an issue. We camped in dunes under live oak trees, slept great with ocean roaring all night and stars above. Hauled gear, supplies and tent in panniers and top bag. Semi-primitive privies near sites, open shower and drinking water spigot a little further down path, or civilized toilet even further down the road at State Park office.great camping, if you go prepared

The state park system needs to update their website so it actually has information on it useful to campers. There was contradicting information in different places and it was all just very confusing. There was a path shut down and no mention of that anywhere on their website. You could camp right on the beach but no mention of that on their website. You can drive a little ways past Little Island and drop people off at a visitor center but no mention of that on their website.

Like this rural camping ground. Shower, apparently potable water available. Max. 1000 feet to the beach. Beachcamping possible, as well. To be booked at least a day in advance.
