Wilbur Beach — Attraction in Port Orange

I've never reviewed anything before, but I felt I needed to say something about this beach. It's a nice beach and all, but if you visit in the middle of August just after sunrise and play in the loose sand area just after the entrance, you will be swarmed with little black bugs that bite mainly your lower extremities.

Not sure if it was the time of day, the location on the beach, or the season, or if this is common to beaches around here, or a different factor, but I've never experienced something like this in other beaches (not in FL) before. My kids were left with red bite marks all over...

There are less hotels and condos and mostly homes along this part, so it makes a very pretty stretch to take a nice long walk. I definitely recommend this beach just remember to take everything that you will need and take your trash...

The beach isn't that wide anymore (pick your reason) but it's still a wonderful beach to go to. It's far enough away from the strip that you don't get bothered too much, yet it's still clearly beautiful Atlantic coast. Its also maybe 5 minutes from...
