Today, the park is a popular destination, offering diverse ecosystems, including beaches, mangroves, and wetlands, that support a wide range of wildlife. Its campground, on list of 10 Top Campgrounds in the country by Travelawaits.com, features over 230 sites with access to fishing, kayaking, and nature trails.
