No pictures but this place is a basic playground with access to a mile long sea wall thing that has a walking path, black top. It’s great except when hot. I bring my dogs down there. Great beach access. Real bathrooms and portable toilets. Parking is ample. Word of warning, listen to the parking rules. Don’t park past the times listed or else you could get locked in. Seriously, they are strict about rules here. Video surveillance is on 24/7. The water park is closed but when it’s open, it’s packed and fun. Basketball courts, places to picnic, ball field. It’s great for younger kids and outdoorsy types.

Nice, clean park. There’s a fence around the spray park portion so parents can sit without worrying their small child will run off. Free, which is always guest! A little small but otherwise it was awesome. I’ll bring my daughter back again!
