Recreation
The beaches have been historically and are currently used by the community for:
- Subsistence gathering, beachcombing, dog walking, family camping, hiking, picnicking, wildlife viewing, photography, kayaking, collecting edible plants, and clam digging.
- Outdoor classrooms for elementary students, the Boy Scouts, and Schoenbar Middle School Environmental Educational classes.
- "Toughies" camp outs where youth learn outdoor survival skills.
