The natural features of the park include a white sand beach and elevated sand dune. The dune is covered with protected sea oats, while the bay side of the island is bordered with mangrove trees.
Loggerhead sea turtles often come ashore on midsummer nights to nest and lay eggs on the beach. Visitors are reminded that disturbances to sea turtles are not permitted.
