I can't ask for more!! This place is clean and it has a lot of character!! The sand is clean and the water was not that clear since there is a high tide... But overall a great family trip!!

This was a very clean and beautiful beach. It was a short walk from the parking lot to the beach and they had very clean facilities. We had to pay $6 per car but it was well worth it!

First off maybe we were lucky but the water was amazingly clear and blue/green that day. The sand was white as snow and would squeak when ran on. Parking was easy and the bathrooms were clean.

Stayed here for two nights. Campsites are private with trees between each site. Only paid campers are allowed in the campground so there is no day traffic.

We have come to Henderson Beach State Park several times and have always been please with the peacefullness and cleanliness of the beach. Family friendly for the most part. Will come back!
