Excellent for active recreation
The park has exercise equipment, volleyball courts, tennis courts, a public pool, and smooth paved paths ideal.
Visit on weekday mornings
Weekdays see far fewer visitors than weekends, and early morning offers the best chance to see dolphins.
Don't bring food or snacks
Birds and squirrels are extremely bold and will aggressively pursue any food you bring to the park.
Check for event closures beforehand
The parking lot frequently closes for weekend festivals, art events, and activities without advance notice.
Watch for toddler safety gaps
The beach area lacks fencing and sits directly off the water, making supervision of very small children more challenging.
