Animal Interactions: As a arrived at the beach there were a ton of people there with their families all bundled up with coats, gloves and hats. I saw a family playing in the water together and kids with boggie boards. The sound was not completely quiet but pretty calm all around. There were a couple surfers getting into the water when I was leaving along with many groups of people running on the beach path and sitting in beach chairs.
