Such a great beach to walk, swim, play volleyball or just watch the ocean. Clean, family friendly and had bathrooms which is always a plus!
MoreGreat beach stayed a few hours hung out. Clean water and parking.
MoreCamped at the State Park for 3 nights. Amazing views and amazing volunteer staff. Views were breathtaking and fun to watch the surfers.
MoreBeautiful beach, fabulous watching the surfers at sunset while drinking a (non-alcoholic) beer before going to dinner.
MoreJust idyllic. Beautiful wide sand beach. Gently sloping into the sea. The surf was nice for body boarding. Strong waves but great life guarding. It was busy but the beach was so big it doesn’t matter. An easy walk into town after.
