Guide
Good to know
Perfect for a quick swim stop
Only ten minutes from Sanford, this small beach works well for brief dips rather than full days.
Reported good with little kids

Arrive early on summer weekends
Parking across the busy road fills quickly, making late arrivals frustrating on hot days.
Keep dogs leashed and controlled
Unattended dogs have dug through beachgoers' belongings and disrupted families with small children.
Expect traffic noise from Route 11
The beach sits at a busy intersection, so road noise can detract from the relaxation.
