This not much of a beach but it is a short walk from north Duval St. The restroom are closed now, and this can be a place where the homeless have been known to hang out. But is is a good place to watch the sunset and get your toes in a little sand.
room for only a few bathers, bums sleeping in the parking lot, water did look clean though, look for local closure notices before swimming here
The beach was clean and relaxing, not very crowded...people kept to themselves, I would recommend it if you jus want to chill!
This was the cleanest beach we could find. No seaweed. No odor. Clear water. Current was a little strong at times. Water is very deep. Should be a good swimmer before going in. Not a large beach. But that's part of the reason I liked it. Also great place for catching the sunset
I have to agree with the other residents that have posted comments about this area. Don't go. I always tell our visitors to pay a few bucks and go to Ft. Zachary Taylor. It is a state park so very clean, great view, clean water because of the current, bathrooms, and a concession stand. But number one reason, by FAR, is the derelicts can't hang out there all day like they do at the public beaches. Yes, we have a large homeless population but they are not the ones I am speaking of. I'm talking about the bums that sit around wasted all day and can become very aggressive and volatile when they panhandle. Because of our great weather, these guys lay around the beach all day getting high and drunk and rarely need to seek shelter. This beach is one of their favorite places, next to Higgs. It isn't even much of a beach so it wouldn't be all that great without the bums. Mostly it is a boat ramp/dock. There are nice places to go but this isn't one of them, be forewarned.
