Went camping with my wife at Shawmee Crowell state park. We were very impressed with the park and it only cost $10/night (no water and electric).
It was recommended to me that we get an "over sands" permit and head for the beach. I made sure I had all of the proper gear (shovel, board, jack, tire guage, and tow rope).
I was told by an unamed source that it would cost $36 for an annual pass which is what I wanted because we planned on spending more time down the cape. Imagine my surprise when I learned that annual permits were really $65 and - oh bye the way - "We are all out (quota was reached)". However, for the insane price of $40 dollars, I could get a 7 day permit. As luck would have it, I was planning on returning to the Cape 8 days later.
So I sucked it up and shelled out the 40 clams. We still had a blast nonetheless.
I didn't do any fishing but the folks who were said it was real slow.
On our way out, we saw a whale (~20') swim right by where I was snorkling an hour earlier - 25' from shore!
