Wasque (“way-skwee”) is a coastal property in transition. The beach at Wasque Point is gone as is Swan Pond and the Wasque Point beach is a thin strip of sand at the base of towering sand cliffs which end in the surf. Wasque Swimming Beach is still present, but expect changes to happen on this beach as well. Hikers will find .5 miles of trails to follow, through a habitat of rare sand barrens. Popular with birdwatchers: herons, egrets, sandpipers, piping plovers, terns and other shorebirds can be observed here. Saltwater anglers find Wasque a fine destination for striped bass and bluefish.
