This beach was very very nice. 🏖️ THE WATER WAS SOOOOOOOO CLEAR. I never knew water could be so nice and warm. Don't even get me started on the sand it was like warm soft cookie dough I wanted to eat it. So so so much fun!!!! I would come again

Safe, Beautiful, clean and a beach you cam often have all to yourself. It is beside silver sands gated community. Soft white sand and clear water. There are a couple restaurants and an artists show along the end where the fisherman come in and sell thisr fresh catches daily. My suggestion/ recommendation would be to stop by the Duncans bakery in town on your way to the beach. Patti's and a bun they call cheese loaf is amazing. Stop and get a jelly from the jelly man or soup frlm the soup man right where the taxis are and you have a perfect day. Bonus... find duggy fresh /Mike to give you a tour of the wonderful, history filled secretly hidden cave. You get to see something most tourist will never get to see.
