You will have to pay to go to the horse beach across the bridge. It really is beautiful over there, and the horses line the road

I saw photos and videos of the beach online before my trip..I am an avid horse lover..The videos show horses all around on the beach with the people..however..both times I went to the beach..there was not a horse in sight..People on the beach those days said when I asked about the horses replied "It's either hit or miss"..I was totally disappointed..the horses on the beach as advertised on their website was the reason I went there.. I drove through the "Park"..went around the "loop" also..only wildlife I saw was a couple of heron birds perched on trees..

Refuge and beach are great. Town is quiet with nice shops. Good restaurants also.

$20 to enter refuge but ticket good for all week.  Beautiful beach and view.  Take your own food if going to beach; cannot buy food there.  Take a boat trip to see the ponies.  Refuge has tour bus once daily but fills quickly.
