Holly beach
10 Emmalynne Blake

This beach is quite lovely! The water may not be crystal clear, but it certainly is pleasant and warm. It's possible to drive onto the beach, however, only with a suitable 4x4 vehicle. I made the mistake of attempting to drive my minivan and ended up getting stuck, barely managing to extricate myself without assistance.
