4 Frustrating

This is a very small yet quiet beach. My kids had a lot of fun playing there. There was a lot of algae but the water was warm. I would be very careful walking on the beach though. When my son was looking for rocks, he brought me a piece of glass. Good thing he brought it to me so I was able to throw it in the garbage can. I am not sure if there were more pieces of broken glass. But we had not gone back since.

A tiny beach with very little parking or seating. The water has a large amount of algae near the shore, but it does clear up as you get deeper. Overall Patterson park is much nicer with the amenities.

My experience here was different than most people's, but I must say it was a nice small and private location. You have to go out a ways to get into deeper water but it's is very nice nonetheless. The trees provide decent shelter from wind on the beach. All in all it was the perfect place to perform my ritual.
