Numerous sand dollars and various shells are scattered all over the sandy shore. Although there is a slight breeze, this beach is an excellent spot for an extended stroll.

Our furry friend had a blast at this beach! The vast expanse of the shoreline allowed for ample space to frolic, socialize with other four-legged pals, and engage in exciting games. For those who enjoy beachcombing, the beach is a treasure trove of seashells, sand dollars, and vibrant rocks that adorn the coastline.

The sandy shore extends far into the horizon, meeting the vast ocean, and although the wind can be a bit strong, the beach has a pleasant atmosphere. During my visit, I indulged in an egg sandwich, which unfortunately ended up staining my clothes. Additionally, I recall encountering a peculiar sight of a boat parked far from the shoreline during my initial trip.

This beach happens to be one of my top picks, and it's conveniently located just a 15-minute drive from my home. The stretch of open beach seems to go on for miles, making it an ideal spot for leisurely walks, invigorating runs, or even horseback riding. You can follow the shoreline all the way to Moonstone Beach, and my furry companions adore it here - the locals are courteous and responsible when it comes to cleaning up after their pets. If you're a visitor looking to collect Sandollars or shells, this is the perfect destination for you.

This beach is undeniably one of my top picks. It is vast and has been a beloved spot for me since my childhood. The beach's level terrain is perfect for leisurely strolls and for little ones to frolic in the ocean's waves. It's not uncommon to spot some friendly furry friends, such as dogs and even horses. Additionally, camping and day use are both permitted on this beach.
