This area contains the largest dune system on the Island. Parabolic dunes can be viewed in this area and are a rare natural feature because they require a special combination of wind, sand and water action.  Numerous blowouts give the dunes their characteristic shape. There are also scattered Pitcher's thistle, beach pea, wormwood, and sand cherry at this site. Piping plovers, a critically endangered shorebird species, have been known to nest in this area.
