Cutts Island is a two-acre marine park situated on Carr Inlet. During low tide, the island has a very nice sand beach. The island features clay cliffs that allow visitors to walk to the top of the island and enjoy the view. The island is covered with various vegetation, and visitors need to be aware of poison oak. During seal pup season, pups will rest on the sandy beach during low tide. Visitors should keep a safe distance away from seal pups.
