Absolutely loved this place! Free parking, lots of parking spots, foot showers, locker rooms, actual showers, bathrooms and ramps everywhere for wheelchair users. The beach was a tiny walk from the parking lot. There is a ramp leading to the beach so wagon pullers don't have to struggle too much. Thye had a consession bar that was not open when we arrived at 7pm. I think they closed at 5. We went on a Saturday evening and it was not crowded at all. Lifeguard stations available until 5:30.

This is a great place to visit! There is a very nice beach access, with bathrooms, changing rooms, concessions. There’s ramp and stairs. Parking is free but fills up real fast. If you drive down to the Fort Macon part (pass the beach access) there is free parking again and another beach access. This beach is not for swimming, but you can still lay on the beach, walk, pick sea shells and still get your feet wet. Lots of fishing on this one. You can also walk around Fort Macon, it’s really cool and great picture place for sure! Highly recommend it all!
