This beach is a fantastic place to visit or camp. There can be a lot of mosquitoes in the summer after it rains. It's easy to anchor a boat here and you can access it at most tides.

This beach is truly amazing. I've been visiting since around 1970. It's surprising how many people don't realize what a gem is right in their own backyard.
