Not the best beach experience. Parking is expensive, overpriced at $25 but at least that gets you the full day until 9pm. Inconvenient it is not by the hour though. It also appears there was a price hike since last year based on a photo someone added to their review a year ago that showed a sign posted parking was $15 then. That would have been much more reasonable. I met 2 other groups of people so we spent $75 together just on parking. Felt like a rip off. Was very windy. Most I've ever experienced and I've been on beaches during storms. After looking at the map some more, the location logically explains this and I wish we would have met up at another beach spot. Sand was super soft which was nice but the water had a thick line of floating seaweed a few feet in. Facilities were good and relatively clean kept. Didn't look at the shower/ changing areas. There is an aquarium, gift shop, and restaurant located right on the premises and along a nice paved walkway. It's sad they prohibit skating of all types including roller blading along the pavement walkway though because it would be a nice place just to enjoy that. Oh also, when returning from the shops to retrieve our car one entrance way was closed off by a chained gate which alarmingly gave the impression our car was trapped behind this. Luckily there was another entrance near the buildings but then we had to drive through cones placed along the parking spaces to exit. This was prior to 9pm.
