Great picnic area with pavilions. Also there's a pond with gators and turtles in it. There is also a natural trail that leads to the beach that is home to sea turtle nest . Please look for signs and be mindful of the nests they are off limits.

Beautiful park with great picnic area, small pavilions and a long path to the beach. Insect repellent is essential to enjoying any time here.

Beautiful! Loved the beaches, super clean, warm waters! Super cheap parking which was super accommodating for a truck with 20ft trailer. Lots of wild life around. Bbq areas, and wash area right at the entrance

Questions & Answers

Is this a dog friendly beach?

I have not seen any signs stating "no dogs allowed", l have not seen anyone with pets either. I would call the local county office for information to this question.

What is the surf like? Is it safe to swim?

Carrie Rowland | Oct 28, 2021
Gage Teppo | Oct 28, 2021

Barely any surf if there is no major weather, water is of a brownish tint, and I'd say it's mostly safe. I'm sure just as anywhere else in the ocean there are dangers present but use common sense and it'll be fine. It's beautiful there and we enjoyed watching the dolphins

Are the restrooms currently open to the public?

I was there 2 weeks ago and they were open at that time. Things change almost daily nowadays

Is there a campground

Trace Raley | Oct 28, 2020
Shari Strafford | Oct 28, 2020

No there is no camping at the picnic area and I don't think you would want to because there are alligators on the ground.
