Great discovery
We spent the day here and would go back again. Welcome center has exquisite hand painted murals that are a treasure. Enjoyed an awesome, long walk on the beach with a peaceful and quiet setting. Not a busy beach so a nice pleasure for us. We stopped in to the lighthouse area to meet great docents, Mark and Sharon who were a wealth of knowledge about the history of the structure and its ancestry. Also well informed about lighthouses in general and history. Wonderful folks! We thought an $8/pp entry fee is a small investment to support a special place.

Amazing!
This is my husband and my favorite beach of all time! Lush jungle like area. Beatiful and clean. Water is extremely warm by the end of July. It is $8 for adults and $5 for children to enter this state park beach. There was plenty of parking but a line to get in on Saturday. Returned on Monday with very short line. There is a lighthouse you can pay to enter and climb.Camping is available and miles of beach! Many other things such as Nature center were closed due to lack of workers. Please note, my husband and I had two 6 foot sharks within a few feet of us just a few yards from the sand! Think they were bull sharks! Life guards are on duty but did not seem concerned about the sharks. They swam off after about 10 seconds with no incident. Thank goodness, We also saw an alligator crossing the road right before we turned into the entrance! Had our fill on wild life for sure!
