This used to be our favorite beach. The bathrooms have been seriously neglected! We went on Valentines Day 2019 and women’s bathroom was overflowed & filthy. Sent our grandkids there a week ago and women’s bathroom door was locked. We along with several other people were there for the launch yesterday 3/15/19 and women’s bathroom is still locked! So sorry ladies if you want a restroom this one is out of order! Men’s bathroom the urinal was overflowing & women were forced to walk through urine to use the commode with someone standing guard as the outer door has been broken for a year and won’t close and lock. We have never in the past had an issue with the bathroom conditions! I don’t know who tends to these restrooms but they are in dire need of attention! We will look for a cleaner alternative...

We've parked in two different lots. One had restrooms, a shower, and picnic table shelters, but the other did not.
There is usually lots of trash, sadly. And the wood steps can be slick, splintered, and hard to navigate if you aren't sure-footed.
One of the access points has different aircraft constantly flying over you, which we loved and thought was so neat!
Do not feel the seagulls,...
