User reviews

"Lovely beach with smooth sand for running, a convenient beach kiosk, and $4 parking fee."

Aria Bennett

"I really enjoyed this beach. The sand is incredibly fine, making a squeaky sound as you walk on the dry sandy area. The sound of the waves crashing is very prominent. The beach is kept very clean. Lifesavers patrol the beach during the summer months and on weekends."
