Where do you park at Jumbie Beach?
The nearest mapped parking area is 375 yd from the listed location. Positions come from OpenStreetMap, not from review text.
How far is the walk to the water at Jumbie Beach?
60 ft in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Jumbie Beach have restrooms?

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
