This is the only beach near me that has fire pits! There is paid parking but fire pits are limited to about 40 for an unknown quantity of people. You have to get there before 5:00 p.m. to reserve a fire pit most of the time. Sometimes you luck out, but definitely don't count on it if you are planning an event or family/friend time.
I've had countless memories here, this particular one was for my birthday with friends and family. Definitely a place to check out and spend time!
Side note, I recommend using the restroom before you come because the bathrooms are kind of gross and are not available after sunset.
