Name: The shoreline is absolutely stunning, with the water displaying a mesmerizing shade of emerald green. However, it has a more laid-back atmosphere in contrast to the bustling surf city and topsail beaches. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the beach leaves something to be desired, with cigarette butts and some scattered litter marring the otherwise picturesque scenery.

The beach offers excellent access for families, which is great. Although it requires a bit of effort to reach due to the uphill hike, the presence of decent parking and bathrooms is always appreciated.
