Pay $8 to park for the day and you are close to the facilities that this beach has to offer such as restrooms, food, playground and beach rentals, but all of this is on the lagoon, not the real beach. The true beach is a bit of a hike and not as nice as the south beach area. It does... More

This beach worked out well for us but I do caution you to research it. To get to the actual gulf coast beach you need to hike though the lagoon and over a spit of land which might be an issue for some who don't like to squish through the water which can be shallow to deep (?3 ft) depending... More
