What parents say
"Pretty scenic views, I walked along the Charlotte Pier. I think it should be better maintained."

"This was a beautiful beach that had nice sand and a nice water area for the kids to play. I loved how there were bathrooms and an area to rinse off your feet. The boardwalk area was really cool too. Definitely felt like I was at the ocean 🌊"

"The beach is beautiful and massive! Pick a spot closer to the pier if you want to swim because it had muddy sand at the waters edge, further away from the pier. If you just want to lay in the sun on a sandy beach, you picked the right spot and will be hard pressed to find better sand short of going to the Caribbean!"
