  • This beach is great. There are limited public restrooms but they are available. This is a “hidden gem” that many of the locals visit and the cost of admittance is $8.00 per vehicle. Bring snacks and water and be prepared to walk a bit for the restroom. There are rinse off stations available and wheelchair access. There is a food stand on site too. This place is a must visit if you’re a local or visiting the area. In order to get to this place, you do have to travel through an HOA neighborhood.
  • It is true, this is one of the most beautiful beaches I've visited in America. The only fee you have to pay is $10 parking and you enjoy a full day of white sand, clear water and the most beautiful sunset eve.r
