We look for different walks to do in the Winter Season and wish the closure of this refuge was better communicated on the web site, which we visited before heading there. It was still a nice walk on the beach in the direction that was not closed.

Was educational and fun as well as beautiful. Our family really enjoyed finding different animals in the inside display plus walking along the paths outside.

I enjoy walking and exploring within this refuge, but it is hard to get there right now since Sandy washed away the road. Not sure how long it will take to get fixed. Beautiful ocean view, interesting bird watching and a nice museum.

Sachueset Point National Wildlife Refuge holds a special place in my heart because this is where my husband proposed to me along the water. It is a beautiful and easy walk with lots of places to view the natural scenery.

We more or less stumbled on this on our last day in the area. We took one of the walks and it was quite pleasant. The visitor center has recently opened and it was informative. Wish we had a bit more time to spend there.

We did a loop trail. It was wonderful to enjoy the fresh air and the landscape. A lovely respite. The staff seemed friendly enough.

Easy to get to. There are two loop trails each about a mile and a half. The views are worth the trip.

A great place to spend an hour exploring. We did the 'ocean point' walk which was around 1.6 miles around the headland. Stunning views and butterflies galore!
