A little too rocky and shelly and seaweed but great area for kids to swim. With actual bathrooms and food stand.

This beach was walking distance from the home and convenient. Wish Dogs were allowed on the Beaches though.

Great snack bar with all kinds of food from hamburgers, hot dogs to sandwiches. Plenty of choices for cold drinks, snacks and ice cream.
Lifeguard on duty until after 4:00. Can buy permits by the day, week or season. Good parking lot and nice sand.

Great sand and the cove at the old pier is good for keeping an eye on the young kids.

With jetties buffering the waves, the beach was clean and clear. Great time!

Great Family Beach

This beach has an alcove area that was created by a break wall that is wonderful for toddlers and young children. The area to the right of the break wall has deeper water but no rough surf. The amount of seaweed is minimal in the water. I would suggest having kids wear water shoes due to the pebbles. There has been seaweed on the beach at the high tide mark.
It also has restrooms, snack bar, and showers. A water tower by the parking lot can be used to rinse of sandy feet before getting into the car. There is ample parking immediately adjacent to the beach. The sand is soft.
We love to go mid afternoon with the grandchildren.
The main beach is on the corner of Shore Street and Surf drive.

Open, wide, and alive. Also not many people around after 4:00 pm, which was perfect for us after the heat of the day passed, and cold beer could be had during the swimming.
