My favorite place to go and just lose myself in my thoughts. I’ve been going to this beach my entire life. I will continue going until I no longer can.
Great beach to bring the family. There’s a small playground area for the kids and a picnic area where u can eat food. There is also a restaurant there; I highly recommend their pizza and wings.
Nice beach on the north shore near Sunken Meadow park. Nice vibe for families with a playground on the sand, a restaurant (indoor &outdoor dining) and plenty of areas to explore. Family gatherings into the evening (no charge after 5).
A very beautiful beach with purple and gold sunsets. I went with my family and we enjoyed this very pleasant place. There are no words to describe how beautiful this beach is. The prehistoric crab shell my little son found had gotten stuck between the rocks
una playa muy hermosa con atardeceres de purpura y de oro fui con mo familia y disfrutamos de este ligar tan agradable no hay palabras para describir lo hermoso que es esta playa
It is a relatively small but fun to walk beach with water streaming out of the adjacent wetlands. Ample parking lot and nearly empty beach on sunny early spring weekend.
