I wish I had more time to explore this beautiful beach ๐๏ธ!! I had a frustrating day and I just sat and enjoyed my new ๐ book ๐ while looking at the view and listening to the waves. This expansive beach with views of the islands, coast and a lighthouse helped me unwind. The beach was clean and encouraged people with disabilities to visit. There was a sign saying that a wheelchair โฟ would be provided if you are need of one. A family with a disabled member was visiting and having a good ๐ time!

There are public bathrooms as well and life guards on duty. The little village this is located in, Ocean Park, looks super cute and might be worth walking around in!

ย ย ย Read moreMy family and I visited this beach this afternoon for the first time. Even though the weather was overcast and very windy, we braved the water and were pleasantly surprised at how warm it was. The beach was not busy at all (weather probably had a lot to do with that) , the surf was perfect. Top it all off we learned we could have brought our fur baby with us. BONUS!! โค๏ธ needless to say, we can't wait to visit again next time...
