My family and I really enjoyed visiting this beach. It wasn't overly crowded, and we appreciated how clean the beach was. We definitely plan on making a return trip in the future! 🏖️

The day may not have been fruitful for fishing, but the weather had other plans. The clear blue skies and warm sun made for a perfect day at the beach. As if that wasn't enough, we were treated to a spectacular sight of the Blue Angels flying overhead. It was truly a stroke of luck that made our day all the more memorable.

This beach is absolutely amazing! However, it's not completely flat, and there is a sudden drop of about 3 feet in the water. So, if you have kids with you, be sure to keep a close eye on them. Despite that, it's still a fantastic beach to visit. It's located on a military base, so there's not a lot of traffic on the sand, which makes it a peaceful and serene place to relax and soak up the sun.

When we visited the beach in October, there was nobody around. However, we were let down by the dirty water caused by the storm.
