Among the trees found in the park are Eastern Redcedar ("Juniperus virginiana"), Pitch Pine ("Pinus rigida"), American Holly ("Ilex opaca"), Black Cherry ("Prunus serotina"), Serviceberry ("Amelanchier canadensis"), Persimmon ("Diospyros virginiana"), Atlantic White Cedar ("Chamaecyparis thyoides") and Sweetbay ("Magnolia virginiana"). These trees appear in different areas of the park, depending on the specifics of salt and wind exposure. They are often stunted, compared to inland examples of their species, and display the "salt spray horizon" effect, with the side facing the ocean sheared tightly by the environment, with their westerly sides tending to grow taller. Thus, the trees and shrubs often take on wedge-like shapes with their low side on the east.
