Nice beach with clean white sand, beach volleyball and mild waves. Great for families but watch out for topless Europeans. :) More

We spent several hours at Smathers Beach for a wedding. The beach area where we were seated was very clean, it had a nice covered table where we could sit and place our belongings.

Great beach and white sand!! Had to call the police on a couple of homeless people that was engaged in some public lewdness, but the police was prompt and took care of the whole situation!! Saw a couple get married about 30 minutes later!! Overall the beach is super and very well secure!! More
