User reviews
"Parking at the beach is available, but a permit is required which can be purchased at the store. Alternatively, free parking is available just off the beach with trash cans nearby and it's only a short walk away. The beach itself is clean with soft sand and easy access to the water. It's definitely worth a visit!"
