Plum Tree Island offers diverse salt marshes, tidal streams, and wooded ridges that support fish, waterfowl, marsh and wading birds, and shorebirds. Serene shorelines offer secluded habitat for breeding and nesting wildlife, including the northern diamondback terrapin. While via land access is prohibited, off-site photography from the mainland (namely Messick Point Marina) and some state adjacent waters is encouraged. Come safely enjoy expansive views of abundant wildlife thriving in these important, vulnerable, and scarce habitats.
