Loved going to the park to walk along the beach doesn’t matter what time of year it is I was told they have concerts there people are still on the beach after the lifeguards are gone bathrooms are clean we wondered around there till 10pm it’s safe love the sunsets they are beautiful it’s a nice place to go
I love this park/beach. Always busy and lively. Mostly families and their kids. There are playground areas. Beach is nice. Shower area for when you get out. Parking is plenty and costs 20 dollars. They have season pass so if you plan to visit more than once its probably best. Great for a paid back beach day. Picnic area for cookouts is also great. Bus route goes right by the beach.

It’s a nice beach … if it were cleaner. Go early if you plan on getting a good spot. I wish they cleaned the broken glass and bottle tops more often. Other than that, go enjoy yourself. Just clean up after yourself.
Good place for family vacation. Enough space on the beach and a huge parking lot for cars. Toilets and places with food could be more. But there is a reconstruction of the main building, maybe then it will become better. And the lifeguards are very nice and attentive and just beautiful . Parking for the day NULL. in the morning in the toilet clean what will happen later depends on the education of vacationers
