afishyfish 4 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 @ Fisho86I cant say Ive seen any cars in front of the park, but there's often quite a few parked along the beach as you head toward the river mouth.Just be aware that some drivers like to speed along there a bit :whistle: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting to watch.They surely scare the :c out of you when you step on them though. Used to have a shack down there and surfed a bit whcih meant walking out till you have to jump on the board to paddle and you would step on a few each summer.
