We were able to visit this lovely beach after Labor Day, when parking was free. It’s a big, clean beach, with lots of shells for beach combing, but also has smooth sand in the water for swimming. The sand is soft and nearly white, and there are restrooms not far from the beach.

Our grandkids love the playground. It has facilities and it’s across the street from our favorite restaurant, Skippers! You can also get icecream at skippers…. So convenient!

The perfect beach…for young children because of the playground and for us older folks who don’t like to walk to far to get to the water!

Beautiful little beach. Brown sugar sand. Great place to find shells. The water was warm and the beach was clean, not a ton of seaweed like some beaches.

Close and quiet on our visit, particularly during the week. Weekends quieter early and if you are staying for the week and want to visit multiple times on separate days or travel to other beaches, get the weekly parking pass.

It is a very relaxing beach in my opinion, there aren’t many waves and it is very rocky walking into the water but it is very relaxing. They also have a mini playground for kids. I usually go down in October and there aren’t really many people there at that time. I usually just bring a book and sit on one of the many benches they have. They also have public restrooms.

We love this beach since it is a little farther down from Smugglers which tends to be busy. It’s sandwhiched between private resident only beaches, I think that cuts down on the amount of people as well.
