It seems like more locals visit this beach, as it is tucked away and not immediately noticeable from A1A, so tourists might not realize it’s there.But, let me tell you: If you like a more quiet, less crowded area, where people keep plenty of space between each other, this is the beach to go to.The view of the ocean and sky is amazing, at this particular beach. I could spend all day there, sitting and admiring the ocean and the sky.This is my favorite beach to pick seashells.They also have two vending machines for soft drinks, which is nice, because I don’t know of any other beach in the area that has vending machines.Definitely a local favorite, don’t miss out on visiting this beach!

Beautiful and clean beach. The lifeguard was very friendly and courteous explaining everyone about the umbrella rules. The restrooms were very clean. There were not a lot of people, so it is perfect to be outdoors and continue social distancing. We got there very early, so didn’t have any problem finding parking, but there were plenty... and is free. A nice change from the beaches on the west coast. Highly recommended!

One our favorite places, but needs more dogs. Its such a great big swath of beach; HUGE distance of sand between parking and the shore. Would be the perfect location for a dog beach. I dont think they are allowed at all though, so... considering all the people beaches, its kind of a a wasted opportunity.

Very nice beach, doesnt seem to have a lot of parking. The beach further north is quite steep, not much to walk on, and none and at high tide. South Beach, however, is quite open, flat, and very inviting.Ill give it five stars after I move to the area.

Liked the free parking and was really easy to navigate! Wished the showers were in the bathroom and that the bathroom front door wasnt open showing all of the stalls. Literally saw a creepy dude backstep to take a look in at the women/girls inside.

Such a large open beach area. Plenty of room to play volleyball or spread out a blanket. Well maintained landaping and clean bathrooms. The walkways from the parking lot to the beach seem almost magical. A great beach to start a walk from. Plenty of parking with an overflow lot.

I use to go there all the time. I love it there. Its clean they have lifeguards. So even when I went alone I always felt safe. I love the walk down to the beach under the trees. There are clean bathrooms and several out door showers. They also have covered picnic tables on the grass in-between the parking lot and the beach. Its a nice clean park environment.

Beautiful beach, clean sand and non murky water! And surprisingly not a lot of people when we went. Its also a beach that protects its turtles as exemplified by the blocked out squares for the eggs and signs at the entrance. Overall, it was a great experience until a tornado started forming nearby? Kinda cool to see though.

We always love this beach. Its a small walk from parking to the water but its well worth it. Never really crowded, the waves dont beat you up. And clear skies for miles.

It was a good day for a bike ride from the gulf to the Atlantic. We enjoyed the beach n the waves. The beach was reasonable clean n not crowded. What I liked was the set back of the buildings from the beach.

Beach had a scum line that I thought would have been cleaned up before the beach opened. Life guard told us the storm would pass quickly, hour later it is still pouring with thunder and lightning, thank God for Mulligans and cold beer!

Review №43

Beautiful wetland trails and pristine white sand beaches beneath blue skies. They take great care of the park-side of the beach, even with some artistic flairs. The parking is free, just as the beach is, and yet its the parking that is the main problem. Many people park on the grass despite the signs. They should just take down the signs and make it official.

Great family spot! It has bathrooms (not the nicest) our side showers and pavilions to sit an eat at. Then you walk through a beautiful tree covered wooded path that opens up to sandy and shell filled beaches.

Nice little park with a beautiful entrance to the beach. It was slightly chilly but with the smell of the ocean and the sight of the sea it was enough to warm your heart.

Free parking, wide natural beach, few buildings in sight, and a life guard. You can’t find this anywhere else that I know in Florida. The bathrooms close at 7 but you may stay until 10 watching the turtles or the thunderstorms offshore.There is usually a 1 foot or less drop off as you enter the water so watch your little ones. When the wind is up there is a shore break. The life guards will signal if it is unsafe.

Beach & boardwalk were beautiful l but there is a very dangerous drop off going into the ocean. Always has rough waters. Not great for young kids. Not over-crowded. Bathrooms are very convenient!

Review №79

We love it here. Its a little bit of a walk to the beach from the restrooms. Umbrella and chair rentals. Only vending machines, so you will maybe want to stop at the places in town to eat or use the picnic areas, which do not look onto the ocean. We go between tourist seasons so its not too busy. Parking is free.
