The other reviews are true. This place isn't overly crowded but that's a welcome change from every other public beach area in Florida. There are just enough vendors to make the visit exciting. Shops offer fun memorabilia and clothing. The outdoor area had kids performing during our visit. There are vagrants walking around but never had an issue with begging or felt unsafe.See more..
We had a blast watching the surfers riding the waves when we were here. You do have to walk through Crabby Joe's to get to the pier. We had a easy bite while we were there for our lunch. There were many on the pier fishing. Honestly, I have no idea if they were catching any fish considering my eyes were glued on the surfers who were putting on a wonderful show without even knowing it.See more..
