Our Take

Garrett Family Preserve at Cape Island Creek has the kind of word-of-mouth energy that makes 220 reviews feel like a cult following rather than a crowd — the hidden-gem, great-for-photos combo here is the real deal. It sits comfortably in the range of spots that reward the curious traveler willing to do a little digging.
