The site includes the 1866 North Cape Lighthouse, an interpretive center, a wind test facility and a commercial wind farm. At low tide, visitors can walk out to the longest natural rock reef in North America to view sea life and, weather permitting, the harvesting of Irish moss. The Black Marsh Nature Trail leads through an open bog area, interpreting the area's history, local fishing and coastal ecology.
