Nice beach area, a little far from kiosks or quick eats (which could be perfect if the kids are younger).

Very clean beach and restrooms, but not allowed tents or music on the beach. Parking was okay to find but you have to pay to be on the beach. Anyone 12 or older for a daily pass is $13. Like this place but if i would have checked more to see it’s not free, i would have chosen another place.
