Beautiful scenery and a very pleasant boardwalk. Major downside is the waterfowl. I get that they live there but I felt uncomfortable swimming when they were all in the water and I noticed feathers and debris floating by. I'd try to swim as far away from the flock as possible or go to the park on the other side of the breakwall for swimming. Don't get me wrong, I love birds! But bacteria like e coli are a real concern, especially for those with little ones.

Beach access with walkway and ramps. Restrooms outdated and the walkway is well worn with advisories posted recommending shoes be worn due to protruding nails, etc. Family area used for sunbathers and swimmers.

Really nice park with a kayak launch and a few fishing docks. Beach was very clean and not crowded at all. They also have a splash pad area for the little ones. I'd definitely come back when in the area

Launched kayaks from this park to make the trip to Turnip Island. Easy launch from parking lot to beach. Lots of parking without fees. Wonderful view of the water and nice place for a picnic or BBQ. I found it interesting that they provided life jackets at this park with an easygoing take-return policy. I did use one because I had apparently left mine at home. I brought it back but I love the idea of this and plan to donate a few on my next visit which I am hoping will be very soon. The park was clean and quiet. It does have bathrooms and showers on site which were also very clean. It takes about two hours to get to turnip island from this point just rowing casually. I would say you need moderate physical ability to make the trip up there and you will want to go early in the day because it is hard to navigate at night. Thank you to the people maintaining this park you are doing a great job!

The perfect launching spot for kayaking to turnip rock. The park is nice for kids, water pad to run around on warm days, plenty of open space to release energy. There is a public restroom as well as showers for rinsing off after a day at the sandy beach.
