Serene and absolutely beautiful! This park is a hidden gem with easy beach access and plenty of parking. When it comes to safety, the ocean patrol is second to none—there are always plenty of lifeguards on duty to ensure everyone can enjoy with peace of mind. As an added bonus, the park is also wheelchair-friendly!

There is a parking fee, but the beach area is worth the price. Clean, not overly crowded, and well maintained. There are bathrooms and a concession stand. Umbrellas and tents are allowed on the beach. No garbage cans as you are required to leave no trace and take everything back out with you.

A fun little beach for the family. It was a first for us visiting the coast so we were surprised to see very few waves, just slow laps of water. It was relaxing and reviving. There was a good bit of sea weeds but we found so many little amazing creatures, we observed and gently replaced them. After a few hours of sun we headed back in.
