Visitor Reviews
So far, this has been the best beach I’ve visited in the area. The waves were amazing, and there were no rocks at all — just soft sand, which made swimming both enjoyable and safe. Just be cautious, as the waves can be very strong.
Yeah, this place is epic. Sunset swimming was amazing. Relatively calm waves for the kiddos, my 6 and 8 year old did great. Good amount of parking during our visit.
We love this beach, so much different wave action coming onto a beach that has some nuanced rolls to it. Waves can change quickly but the color between the blue, white foam and sand being rolled into the surf make it a beautiful time. Smaller children often need to be kept on the sand and away from the water.
An amazing beach. Parking is very limited but you can park on the street around the area. (As of 12/17/2022)The bathrooms here work but the women's stall only had one stall that was fully functional. The beach is clean. Spots are first come first serve. The beach is very photogenic during the sunset hours. Overall, a very nice beach.
Great beach for swimming!! Lifeguard on site! Amazing to watch sunset! Washrooms were not the best!
