Massachusetts’
Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge is a complex ecosystem chock full of
rare habitats for native New England plants and birds, but it is perhaps
better known for its historic lighthouse, miles of inviting, white-sand
beaches and world-class Massachusetts fishing than its conservation
mission. The Refuge includes important an ecologically important maritime
dunes system that envelops more than 200 acres and provides a home to
a multiplicity of Massachusetts flora and fauna, such as gray seals
and harbor seals.
Coskata-Coatue is an excellent destination for and both recreation and
education on a Massachusetts vacation. Seasonal tours permit visitors
to explore both the natural wonders of the Refuge and Great Point Lighthouse.
Guests who obtain over-sand vehicle permits for qualified vehicles can
take advantage of miles of dune roads.
There are some basic amenities available at Coskata-Coatue Wildlife
Refuge. Public restrooms (located mid-way between the Wauwinet Gatehouse
and Great Point Lighthouse as well as at the Great Point Lighthouse
itself) are open from May 1st to October 31st and there is a bike-rack
at the Wauwinet Gatehouse. |
