low key end beach, with kayak and paddle board rentals. not a lot of parking but this beach is well worth any wait.
I highly recommend renting a paddle board, go left off the drop in, a short paddle until you see some houses, boat lifts on the west side, and keep an eye out for dolphins feeding along the sea wall. before you know it you are swimming with dolphins.
