Guide

Good to know

Good for a picnic

Picnic facilities on site, with room to sit and eat near the play area.

Official listing

Best for volleyball and basketball

This beach has exceptional courts for both sports, making it ideal if your family wants organized activities beyond swimming.

Arrive early for parking

The lot fills quickly, especially on weekends and sunny days, so parking becomes difficult by mid-morning.

Watch for stingrays in water

Shuffle your feet when entering the water to avoid stepping on stingrays that inhabit this area.

Bring shoes for restroom visits

Restrooms are consistently reported as dirty and poorly maintained throughout the day.

Check sand carefully before sitting

Broken glass bottles are sometimes buried in the sand, so inspect your spot before spreading out.

How we know this. Place details from the public Google business listing; facilities inferred from 98 visitor reviews; playground outlines and amenity positions from OpenStreetMap (ODbL), which is also what the size is measured on; aerial imagery from USGS (2022). Attributes appear only when the evidence clears our confidence bar, and review text is never republished. The unedited aerial shows tree cover, which is our second check on shade.
