A barrier beach formed thousands of years ago by offshore currents, extending for seven miles from Wasque Point to Cape Poge Lighthouse and Gut. Moderate hiking is available along 14 miles of oversand vehicle and walking trails, plus beach front. At the northern edge, Cape Poge Elbow sustains a gull rookery and nests of endangered piping plovers, least terns, and oyster catchers. Cape Poge Bay serves as a nursery for finfish and shellfish. The Gut attracts bluefish and striped bass. At the northernmost tip stands the beautiful Cape Poge Lighthouse, first erected in 1801.
