Quiet family beach, one of the nicest in the area. Parking is a little far from the beach unless you make a turn at the end of the road and head down to the other lot.

Drakes Island Beach
Quiet family beach, one of the nicest in the area. Parking is a little far from the beach unless you make a turn at the end of the road and head down to the other lot.
This is our favorite beach for a quiet, peaceful day. Parking is about a half mile way unless you get super lucky and get the five spots at the beach. The walk from the parking to the beach is one of my favorites. Due to lack of parking, even during the busiest of times there are very few people here. The beach really doesn’t have facilities either but it is gorgeous and empty!
