You can participate in activities ranging from bass fishing to surfing, but bear in mind that the beach has time restrictions and prohibited areas. If you get a special permit, you can take off-road vehicles onto the beach. Bathroom facilities and food stalls offering seafood and fast food sit within easy access of the beach.

  Beautiful beach with amenities; to include bathrooms, changing stalls, places to wash sand off, and food trucks.
