About Nummy Island
Nummy Island is a large undeveloped salt marsh between the Stone Harbor free bridge to the north and the Grassy Sound toll bridge to the south. It is excellent for shorebirds, marsh birds, and wading birds, especially in spring, summer and fall. It is best at high tide when the shorebirds rest and forage in and around the salt ponds on both sides of the road. Over the years Snowy Owl, Short-eared Owl, Marbled Godwit, Peregrine Falcon, and even Long-billed Curlew have been visitors to this island. You can also look across the inlet to often inaccessible parts of Stone Harbor Point.

Wildlife viewing along this road requires that you pull all the way off onto the shoulder. The shoulder on both sides of the road is wide, so there is room to pull well off and out of traffic. Traffic can be heavy at times and the speed limit on the road is 50 mph, so be alert, especially when crossing the road on foot. There is a small pull off for parking at the northern end of the island. From Nummy Island (New Jersey Audubon) web page
