Guide
Good to know
Go early morning for cleanliness

Parking is convenient and ample
Spaces are available close to the boardwalk area, making access easy even during moderately busy times.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2021–2026
Visit during organized events
The beach hosts special celebrations like Fourth of July fireworks and Christmas events that draw larger crowds and better atmospheres.
Best for young children on weekdays
The playground and family amenities work well for kids, though weekend crowds may attract rowdier behavior than families prefer.
Expect limited lighthouse experience
The lighthouse is small and decorative rather than a functional structure or major attraction.
