Bring the family, cooler, snacks, chairs, and sunshade and make a day of it at the beach. You'll be treated to a day of fun as you play in the water and soak up the sun. More

This beach is wonderful for a walk along the water - the sand is great under your feet & I collected some shells & coral that were unlike any I have ever seen before! I loved the sunrise over the ocean & the great sailboats & ships going by! More

Yes, the water was clear, but the beach was not. Cigarette butts and people smoking down the beach. Garbage and glass on the beach. More

Beach here was beautiful. Coming from New Jersey, I could not believe what I thought passed for a beach! The waters were calm and warm. The sand was soft and clean. Best of all, my feet were not burned or battered bloody with shards of glass or syringes! More

The beach area was okay. Cigarette buts and some garbage here and there. We got called out of the water for a shark which wasn't much farther than where we were swimming. Of course water was warm and it was relaxing to be on the beach but I think Miami beach is a little nicer and more people. More
