Had a great time at the beach! Very shallow sandy beach. Tides were pretty calm when we went. Stayed for a few hours and it was perfect! Restroom available. Pets not allowed on the beach, so it was very clean and a calm atmosphere. Coveted picnic areas also available. Will definitely visit again.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

We reserved a shelter and had a birthday party with about that many people. If it is a peak day like a weekend during the summer... Go ahead and pay to reserve or you may be out of luck on a place to gather. It gets busy.

The number for the rangers station is 1 904-251-2320. They can help, but only during office hours. There is no camp office, just a ranger's station and a ranger or two that live in the park after hours. They can answer questions, but anything reservation related is handled through reserve America.
