During the summer, the park usually offers an interpretive program designed around families. The specific activity/topic may be anything, but focuses on material suitable for young children and often involves learning about sea turtles or other wildlife.
Books, puzzles, coloring books, and other items for children can be found in the Malaquite Visitor Center bookstore co-located with the information desk and museum.
The park's camp store also offers a variety of items for children including toy buckets and shovels, floats, beach balls, frisbees, ear plugs, goggles, toys, kites, boogie boards, and skim boards.
