Relaxing watching the sunset

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This beach is excellent for families with children who want clean facilities, ample space to play, and convenient free parking. The updated restrooms and rinse-off areas make it practical for beach days. However, families with mobility needs or heavy beach equipment should be prepared for steep, sandy entrances that can be challenging to navigate.

“They cleaned the beach 16 ,17 looks so good., but they made the entrance with sand so high you can't pull beach cart, On my way down its very steep, safety hazard , almost slipped! Its so bad, they should have made it flat for older people , heavy or people with disabilities! Smh”
