User reviews

"The beach has showers, bathrooms, and shaded areas. The water is a great temperature, clear, and shallow enough for young kids to enjoy. My daughters and I ventured out quite far, with our youngest being 5 and our oldest 11. It's a fun way to spend the day. A tip: bring a tent (or two) to take a break from the sun."

Larissa Harper

"It's a fantastic spot for a day trip. There's ample parking, a nice beach, sand volleyball courts, fishing, water for rinsing off, and gazebos for shade on the pier."
