Earlier in the year during the herring run, up inside the river would be a good bet, especially at the narrows just above the Bridge Street public park, the river is chocked down there, with lots of bolders below. You can also get some fluke (or so I've read) in the channel stretch near the spit. I've done well on flounder in the same stretch using heavier freshwater gitzits, they will come right up and hit them at the boat there. It's also a good area for school stripers, larger at night. Motor upriver past the spit, hang a left go towards the driftway channel, then drift back to the south river with an unweighted eel. Middle of the outgoing to the bottom of the tide is best.

The lighthouse from shore, on an incoming on the ocean side and outgoing on the channel side are both good bets. I see a lot of campers and the like on the 4th cliff hummorock side of the north river, so they might have opened that up to parking, not sure but that side of the river is loaded with rocks; but you best have some wading skills to venture too far out on that point.
