Hesitant Foxy | Oct 17, 2019
Keith Odom | Oct 17, 2019

There is Simonton Beach, a small beach on the Gulf side at the North end of Simonton St on the Gulf. It's small. The better and larger beaches run along the Southwest side of the island. There are also a few resorts that encircle beaches, but for the most part, you have to be staying at the resort to access them.
