About this beach

Fowler Beach at the edge of Prime Hook refuge, surrounded by some of the largest marsh on the coast. Expect the worst of it here when the wind turns out of the west.

Worst here around Sep, driven by black flies. Greenheads (horse flies) run heaviest in July; black flies build later, into September.
