It's a great public beach, one of the best I've ever visited! No fee for parking, and they have ice cream trucks spread throughout the beach. The lifeguards are very friendly there, and so are the people :)

Very kids friendly beach with a designated play area for young kids. A bike lane and a separate walk way! Very clean place! Lots of swing sets and benches to relax with the Atlantic in front of you.

It was a beautiful beach. It was sm but nice even had the police there incase people acted up. This is a great place for sm children the way the beach is set up u can keep up with them better if one gets away. We did not check anything out but the beach but I did see swing for big and little people and a playground.

Love Buckroe beach❤️ and has a fantastic park for kids.... Has come up a while lot and be holding up well from what it was in the 80's and 90's. Board walks are open and functioning.... And not a long haul from your vehicle to the water, unlike a lot of other surrounding beaches.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What kind of attraction are at buckroe beech? are there some nice restaurant's are there some nice motels or hotels in the area? are there some nice people and good shopping? One more thing is it over crowded with too many people?

Nancy Hedrick | Mar 2, 2020
Tony Reo | Mar 3, 2020

Attraction wise there is a stage for performances of live bands. They have a farmer's market every Saturday from 9am to 1pm & a playground area for the children. There's buckroe shopping center that has Anna's Pizza which is really good, Chinese restaurant, Sav a lot if you want to grocery shop. Before the shopping center is McDonald's, kfc/taco bell which is pretty close to the beach. No hotels or motels that are nice, maybe airb&b. Very nice people, great atmosphere like southern hospitality. Never over crowded unless there is a live show but even then not to crowded. Hope this helps

Yeah people were in the water but it didn't look too clean to me. Fishing, jet ski boating ideas may be great. However, Miami and Cali areas have some fresh, clean looking water for swimming.
