Sand Dollar Beach

10 Ryan Mitchell.

This stunning beach is an absolute must-visit! The parking fee is a reasonable $10 cash, and a brief 5-minute stroll (although there are several stairs, so it may not be suitable for wheelchairs) will take you to the beach. The beach is impeccably maintained and boasts a breathtaking view, with plenty of space to stroll, play frisbee, and more. While we didn't spot any sand dollars during our visit in mid-May, the experience was still unforgettable!
