Reviews
I can tell locals love it. The boardwalk is well done & pretty. Lots of shops and restaurants. I’m still in shock that their TINY beach cost NULL a day!! Talk about keeping outsiders out! They also don’t allow little pop up tents, umbrellas only. The water goes up to about knee height, it’s warm and the bay floor is free of shells/rocks it feels strange at first on the feet like sticky clay. Still had a nice day there with the family, everyone enjoyed themselves.
Parking was hard to find at first but they do have a small public parking lot across the street from the beach entrance.
Sunrise is beautiful, people who work there are always very kind and helpful
boardwalk is great, beautiful but access to the beach is expensive for nonresidents, NULL a person. The beach has beautiful umbrellas but the water was cloudy and smelled bad.
Small little beach and boardwalk. Great for small kids. There is a net that keeps out a lot of wild life, but there are crabs and jelly fish. We saw a couple of horseshoe crabs trying to climb the net.
It’s NULL per person NULL per kid to entry. No alcohol allowed, very small beach area. Warm and shallow water. It was very safe. Free movie show on the beach.
