It was hot and we wanted a beach day. So we set out to find a new beach and landed here. It is a nice public beach, but.. be warned.. it is a bit narrow. It was pretty crowded when we were there. Not surprising with it being 90F and humid out. It is a bit rocky, but once you are out in the water, it is sandy. It stays pretty shallow for quite a ways, so great for kids or those who aren't swimmers. It is along a rocky break wall, so there is a current.

I would go here again and maybe take a trash bag to help clean up. We did pick up some trash that was left by others on...

If you go in the morning ~9 there are few people there but when we went back at around 2pm it was SO packed.
There’s a long stretch of sand leading up to the water if you don’t mind a walk to the water. And around the bathroom area there’s nice flower beds and grassy areas but for a town based on the water there’s barely...

It is hard when you love and miss someone very much, and coming here helps clear the mind and set our hearts at peace, at least somewhat.
God is good, however unkind and heartless people can be.
We come here whenever we need to be reminded that God is in control.
