This is probably our favorite beach spot. It’s a huge area and it’s just gorgeous! We like to go for the sunset because it’s on a peninsula and the sun looks like it sets over the ocean there. Also every time we go we see dolphins in the inlet which is super fun! Again, you do pay for parking, but it’s got a huge rest center and those nice feet cleany-offy places that are great for when you don’t want to get sand all over your car 😋
