Other things to note
During times of elevated water temperature and salinity, jellyfish or sea nettles are present in the water. Please be aware that they could cause an uncomfortable sting. As you would with other natural bodies of water, swim with caution. Fortunately, this typically corresponds with increased success with crabbing!
