Beach, Boardwalk, and views... a nice gem and a good place for kids. This is not an extensive area but it sure packs it in the positives. Small beach area, nice sand, nice views of the bay (sometimes the Jet skis out there in the bay can be distracting). There is a boardwalk above the beach area with benches. There is a nice playground area for the kids and an adjacent pavilion for parties etc. Very clean area. There is some sort of bring your own Kayak station also... need more info on that... but cool. Lots of parking (or perhaps just enough) to make sure this place has a good balance of folks to area ratio. There are horseshoe courts that no one seemed interested in. I would not recommend letting kids in the water at all (swimming itself is banned here, and there are signs not to harvest shellfish - that should be all you need to know, I am sure this area is in recovery ecologically but right now... be wary with the little ones - great chance to let them play in a big sandbox though!) Want somewhere to chill and just look out over open water?...

Nice park, well kept, 4 Bocce ball courts (I am not exactly sure how the use is determined), lots of kayaks and paddle boarders use the easy access. My son has fished here, went down around the corner, away from bathers! Nice Memorials! I have not seen the bathrooms open yet! Nice place to sit on a bench and enjoy the water, without having to deal with parking...
