This place is amazing, and there's a lovely path that leads to the beach. They have clean restrooms and showers for rinsing off.

The beach is fully accessible for individuals with disabilities. They provide handicapped beach buggies and a pool, making it an excellent outing for everyone. It costs $6.00 per car, but it is definitely worth the trip. We are eagerly looking forward to returning.

The beach is fantastic and allows dogs. There are bathrooms conveniently located near the parking lot. However, the slightly disappointing aspect was the brown water.

It's a decent little beach spot that was conveniently located near our accommodation during Memorial Day weekend. Be cautious of the abundance of rocks and shells that can potentially hurt your feet. Due to its location, being more of a bay rather than open gulf, there aren't many waves. It's an ideal destination for families and children. The beach is never overly crowded, and there is complimentary parking available.
