The whole place is covered in a rubber like substance which is great for falls but it was red and black in some places and blue and black. Outside of the water area the flooring was way to hot for our toddlers bare feet. We had to be very careful when moving from the water area to the dry areas. But wow is this a cool park. Lots to do with a wide age group.

We had so much fun on Shackleford Island. We saw so many horses, found a lot of cool shells, and…read morethe beach was beautiful. It's about a 30 minute ferry ride from Beaufort. There is a restroom but NO amenities or food available for purchase. Bring everything you need with you. Once we arrived, there was a tour guide but it wasn't much of a tour. She walked us to the other side of the island to show us two horses on the beach and then walked all the way back to where we started to show us where to find the best shells. Her "tour" lasted about 30 minutes. We did most of the exploring on our own and that's when we found the majority of the horses. As long as you aren't looking for a super guided tour, this is a great day trip!

I am sure it has something to do with when the water level is up, but it would have been nice if they just ran the fence line out around the bottom of the walkway. There are quite a few old growth trees as well as just natural ground covering. There is a nice watering station when you first come in as well as a poop bag dispenser add trash can. You can park right next to the dog park and there is a very nice double-gated concrete entry.

From the gazebo, you have views of Rachel Carson Preserve where you may see the horses or dolphins. I like the seating areas here to watch the water.
