Outdoor fun! ☀️
Nice beach with clean restrooms! You can walk down the pier and watch people fishing. 🎣 Be sure to get there early to get a public picnic table with great shade! ⛱
Note: There is a fee to enter the beach if you are driving a vehicle. Entrance to the beach is free if you enter on foot or bicycle. There is also a dog 🐶 friendly section of the beach which is free (it is located right before the entrance to the main beach).
