User reviews
"The beach boasts a stunning sandy shoreline that offers ample space for leisurely strolls. Although it can get quite busy on pleasant weekends, finding a parking spot is usually not an issue. The facilities are complimentary, but the parking fee varies between $10-20+ based on the day and spot."
Mark Johnson
"This beach is a local favorite, but during the off season, it's open to anyone who wants to soak up some sun, catch some waves, or fish from the shore or the breechway. Families with young children will appreciate the large salt pond, which is perfect for clamming and allows for noisy play."
