It was a fantastic day at the beach, and the gate attendants were very friendly. The bathroom was spotless, and the lifeguard was pleasant.

Had a great time at the beach in November, surprisingly! The beach was stunning and well-maintained.

This location is stunning. I had hoped to witness the sunset from the bridge before the beach, but unfortunately, the clouds obstructed the view. Despite this, the beach was a sight to behold. There were many visitors with their jeeps and SUVs, and a group of people gathered around a lit fire pit while others enjoyed a picnic. Overall, this was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever visited. I've included some pictures of the bridge where the sunset can be seen at its finest.

This beach is a local favorite, but during the off season, it's open to anyone who wants to soak up some sun, catch some waves, or fish from the shore or the breechway. Families with young children will appreciate the large salt pond, which is perfect for clamming and allows for noisy play.

The beach boasts a stunning sandy shoreline that offers ample space for leisurely strolls. Although it can get quite busy on pleasant weekends, finding a parking spot is usually not an issue. The facilities are complimentary, but the parking fee varies between $10-20+ based on the day and spot.
