While traveling along Florida's east coast in our Class A motorhome, our nieces and nephews from Alaska were eager to find a beach to play in the water. After passing by a few crowded public parking lots, we stumbled upon Golden Sands Park. The parking lot was mostly empty and we found a great spot to park our motorhome. The beach was beautiful and the kids had a blast playing in the waves. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the beach was well-maintained and even had showers available.

The beach access is fantastic with ample parking spots, convenient bathroom and outdoor shower facilities, and it's also handicap accessible. The lifeguards are active and observant, and the beach never seems to be overcrowded, at least during the week. I highly recommend this beach.

This beach is absolutely stunning and peaceful. Although there is a $2 parking fee, it is definitely worth it just for the shower. The park is impeccably clean, with only a couple of gum wrappers found on a ½ mile stretch. During my hour-long visit on a late Saturday afternoon, I only saw about 5 people. The bathroom, while a bit outdated, was well-stocked and maintained as well as could be expected. Overall, I highly recommend this park for a wonderful day spent in the water.

This beach is a great spot to visit, thanks to the convenience of free parking and restrooms. I was able to bring my bike and take advantage of the bike lane that leads to Sebastian Inlet State Park. After that, I changed into my swimsuit and had a fantastic day at the beach.

This beach park is a hidden gem with lifeguards and pristine facilities. The boardwalk is well-maintained and the beach is absolutely stunning. However, if you're looking to collect seashells, you may be disappointed as there are mostly small, broken pieces. Nonetheless, it's the perfect spot for a fun-filled day at the beach.
