Beautiful beach with strong waves!
The beach was beautiful! I waded out into the water and could feel the undertow. A big wave hit me and knocked me down and then a second wave came and literally shot me out of the water and onto the beach! I have never laughed so hard in my life. I'm sure those sitting on the beach got a good laugh as well!! We really enjoyed our time on this beach!

Great Beach and Parking is Close
While the beach may be smaller, we love the proximity of the parking to the beach. You do not have to carry coolers, chairs, beach bags, and snorkel equipment quite as far. We always arrive early, and we have never had a problem finding a place to park. By early, we are normally there by 9:30am or 10:00am. Later, say by noon, that was not the case. Not only is the beach, view, and water nice, but they also have facilities.
