Official listing
Arrive early for shaded seating
Covered picnic tables and gazebos fill up by mid-morning, especially on weekends and school breaks.
Plan to leave before sunset
The beach closes at 8pm and the park becomes less staffed, so aim to finish before dark.
Good for toddlers and younger kids
Shallow, calm water with lifeguards, a large playground, and nearby restrooms make it suitable for families with small children.
Check water quality before swimming
Bacteria warnings and occasional algae blooms occur, so confirm conditions are safe on the day you visit.
Bring supplies for a full day
Pack sunscreen, hats, water, snacks, and a beach chair since amenities are limited and the small beach area fills quickly.
