This beach is top-notch, with serene surroundings and stunning views, particularly at low tide. Don't forget to pack some insect repellent to deter the occasional horsefly.

6 Pleasant

The beach offers impressive facilities and a pleasant atmosphere, yet the water temperature is notably chilly and the pebbles can be unpleasant underfoot. Along the shoreline, you'll find a picturesque dune formation sculpted by the wind, which is a common sight in coastal and desert regions. Additionally, there are opportunities for hiking in the nearby area, including a trail leading to the lighthouse. For those looking to stay overnight, RV campsites are available and campfires are permitted. It's worth noting that parking fees apply until 5:00 PM.

Our initial plan was to explore the Sandy Neck Lighthouse, but upon discovering that a dune buggy was required, we opted for a leisurely stroll to capture the mesmerizing beauty of the surroundings. The tranquil ambiance and awe-inspiring vistas made for a truly rejuvenating experience.

The beach park is delightful, with convenient bath house and restroom facilities available. Additionally, there's a shower to rinse off the sand before leaving. It's important to note that fires are not permitted on the beach.

I had an amazing weekend at the beach. The scenery was breathtaking. However, there were some rocks on the beach, so it's advisable to wear shoes or boots if you plan on taking a stroll.
