Great beach with lots of shells. Must go at low tide to find the best shells. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL beach. We drive 2hrs willingly to get to this location. Why? This location has limited parking perhaps 30 spots, this means everyone has plenty of space to be with family and friends, not on top of each other. No parking on the roadside or in the grass is allowed, if there is not a parking space available you can wait it out or move on. Bonus today.....Dolphins were bobbing in the distance!!

Great beach for families..and Shelling ! The parking is generous..but still best to get there early. Has restrooms. Bring a beach umbrella for shade and a small cooler for cold water, etc. Enjoy !
