Yes. Pick your day carefully. Know the tides and wind. High tides will force you up into the driftwood; you're absolutely not allowed to cross the crest into the eastern side, which is the wildlife refuge.

Be aware that you will be walking on a slope the whole way unless the tide is way out. That means many people find one hip or knee will get really tired and sore; then in the afternoon, it's the other side. Choose your footwear with care to be sure you have support for this.

Don't ignore the rest of the park for hiking, not just the main pedestrian access. The horse trails in the park, over by Five Acre School, and the ever-retreating trails on the bluff by the campground are really nice. I used to live two blocks from there.

The campground will often have spaces when the local state parks are full - it's a county park like Salt Creek.
