This beach is huge and gorgeous, with easy access via stairs and a long ramp. You can take a long stroll in either direction, and it's a great spot for finding shells and sand dollars. There's also plenty of shore birds and aquatic life.

This beach has beautiful, soft sand and is easily accessible, though there is some walking involved. There is a fee of $10 for a pass, but you can park outside the entrance for free. The parking lot has typical restrooms. During the week, you can usually have the beach to yourself.

This beach is perfect if all you're looking for is a place to relax. You'll need to bring your own food and activities, but it's great for kids. I'd give it three stars, though, because there's only one bathroom, so you may have to wait up to ten minutes to rinse off.

This beach is great for kids to play in the water, with its soft sand and wide shoreline. However, it can get quite busy, so it's best to arrive early. Parking costs $10 and there are flushable restrooms, but no showers.

I've been to this beach a couple of times and it's really peaceful and enjoyable. If you don't mind paying the $10 parking fee, I'd highly suggest spending your weekend here.
