What visitors say
Mostly positiveCushman's Landing is a secluded, undeveloped spot on Magစီ Bay featuring abundant wildlife including crabs, herons, ibis, egrets, and sandpipers, along with shells and interesting concrete ruins to explore. The area offers a natural, adventurous atmosphere with scenic water views, though visitors should be aware of hazards including snakes in rubble, broken glass, ticks, and flies at low tide. It's suitable for casual exploration and dog walking but appears to lack maintained facilities typical of standard boat ramps.
