Guide
Good to know
Expect a clean, well-maintained space
Visitors consistently report the boardwalk, party areas, and beach itself are clean and well kept.
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 · 2018–2026
Bring shade for young kids
The newer playground lacks shaded areas and sits fully exposed to sun, which reviewers note bothers children.
Leave your dog at home
Dogs are not permitted on the beach, which was the only complaint from an otherwise very satisfied visitor.
