    We went to the beach with 2 teenage girls. The beach was busy due to spring break, but plenty of room to spread out. The water is beautiful. Bring your own cooler, no food or beverage stands nearby...  more »

    Great sandy Beach's with amazing water in a park that has facilities to meet every need. Clean restrooms, great views, playground and very well designed park. It's a great stop for any road trip. The park is situated in multi-million dollar homes so you can experience a park like the other half

    Love! Love! Love! This beach was beautiful to take the family. Took a 2, 4 and 5 year old. There was a nice area that you can watch them play alone but of course supervised, with sand and water divided with rocks. Passing the rocks the water still isn’t too deep and the water was clear which was perfect when the adults wanted to go in with the kids a little further.
