It is a small beach right next to Museum Campus and next door to the Plantearium. Great during the summer months. They have a cute little Taco Place on-site. Very good for those 7 am quiet swims which I have done.

My Favorite Beach! It is a well-hidden gem. Right behind the Shed Aquarium, few people venture there, so it's never too crowded. There is also a pier to jump off of.
