The point is situated on Chesapeake Bay along the Atlantic Flyway, and consequently provides habitat for nesting and breeding birds, both during the migration season and at other times throughout the year; among the birds that may be found there is the rare least tern.

The northeastern beach tiger beetle, listed as threatened in the United States, also makes its home in portions of the preserve.

Improvements at the preserve include a short boardwalk and overlook within the marsh, and a nature trail through the forest.
