Beach is beautiful and they rake it everyday! They have convenient bathrooms that were clean! It was well worth getting a weekly pass!

We went to the beach in the late afternoon to end the day by building sandcastles and collecting shells. It was like we had the beach to ourselves and it was so beautiful!

It was June during our visit, so the water was quite chilly, but the sand and views were beautiful and well kept and there was plenty of parking. Quite a bit of seaweed at that time of year, but a great beach to walk along and take in the sights.

Clean, soft sand with access to restrooms and daily ice cream truck stops! Family beach. Fun beach for kids to crab on the rock jetties, if they bring a bucket.

Great beach, good parking, bathroom facilities, attentive lifeguards, and a food truck. Also, the ice cream truck comes by!
