Popular busy beach with restrooms, snack shack, pool (entrance fee) and some parking. Beautiful views. Family friendly. Lots of grass behind the beach for picnics. Some picnic tables and benches. Playground area.

The temperature was great. Not too crowded although more people started showing up at about 4pm. Everyone seemed to be in a positive mood, or maybe it was just me. Sat in my beach chair, napped, read my book, talked to my friend, watched people, and enjoyed the day. Summer is on the way!!!
