Carousel Inn on the beach

We really miss the Gardens. Hurricane Ian devastated this property, along with many others! We are grateful for the amazing times and memories we had there.

This stunning beach boasts a vibrant atmosphere, bustling with people, stores, and a lively boardwalk as soon as you cross the bridge. Multiple parking locations are available for a fee of $30, but be sure to do some research beforehand as some spots may only offer portable bathrooms. However, I opted to continue driving and stumbled upon the picturesque Newton Park. Though parking here costs $5.00 per hour, the park provides clean and well-maintained restrooms, as well as a refreshing water fountain. It's crucial to pay on time to avoid a $35 ticket, but the park also offers ample seating areas for families to enjoy. The ocean's calm and crystal-clear waters make it an ideal spot for children, and collecting shells is a popular activity here. While there are no umbrella rentals available, feel free to bring your own. With something for everyone, I wholeheartedly recommend this beach to all families.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 30°C and water up to 31.1°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 20.4°C and water to 19.7°C.
