Description

History
The area formed when two separate islands merged into a peninsula through natural processes and human modifications during the past century. This transformation opened the land to different uses.

The area maintains a population of 583 residents while supporting essential infrastructure including a marine radar tower and water treatment facilities.
Practical
The area can be explored on a network of dirt and gravel paths that connect to viewing spots. The routes are easy to walk and allow you to see different parts of the land.
