The reserve is one of only around 60 places in the UK where the natterjack toad is found.[1] In summer, many species of orchids can be seen on the dunes and dune slacks. Other wildlife includes cuckoo, barn owl and six-spot burnet moth.

A large part of the reserve, close to the car park, is wheelchair-friendly.[citation needed]
