Very clean, family beach. Easy to access. Free parking. Rented 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella for $30 for the entire day. (Rentals on the beach - cash or cc.) Restroom facilities. Outside showers to rinse off. Can bring cooler with food and non-alcoholic beverages. Easy day trip from Orlando/Kissimmee.

Beautiful walk to the beach. Beach was nice and clean. Sand was a little hot though, so be careful.

Adorable. Good parking, easy to get to. If you don't have chairs find Marcus and rent them there.

Great spot for the beaches. Free parking and free admission. The downfall was the seaweed. But that could be the time of the year.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
