Walk the sea wall. It’s a flat, grassy path that follows the river. No hills, no stress. Just the wind in your hair and the constant threat of mud on your shoes.
Kayaking is a must. Rent one from the park or nearby. Paddle out when the tide is slack. You’ll float right next to sleeping seals. They look like smug fat sausages. Don’t wake them; they judge you.
Fishing off the jetty is meditative boredom. You might catch a flounder. You might catch a plastic bag. Either way, you’re at peace.
Quirky Fact #3: The Toll House
Just down Canney Road is a tiny, abandoned toll house. It’s now a shed for someone’s lawnmower. In the 1800s, you paid a penny to pass. A penny! For the privilege of accessing this mud paradise.
Imagine that argument with a Victorian ferryman. “Oi, sir, that’s my ferry!” Makes today’s entry fees feel like a steal.
