It's one of the islands best beaches. Lots of parking. Plenty of trails to walk. Miles and miles of open beach when the tide is out.

Great for swimming, day picnic! Watershoes might be helpful, as there are rocks on the shore; however, once inside water, the sand is actually very soft & walkable with bear feet! Great spot for sunset!
It is a great place to walk and get exercise. At low tide, you can walk out about a kilometer to the water. We've been here a few times now and love the views and the various starfish and shells along the beach. Our most recent trip brought us here to see the biolumencence in the water on a moonless night. It didn't turn out that well, but I believe we were in a bad spot with lights from the surrounding area encroaching our night view. Still had fun and enjoyed our night out...

We have been staying here almost yearly for the past 20 years. Great campground, especially for young families. The trek to the beach can be a bit much so make sure you ha w a wagon!

Showers and bathroom facilities are great. Some of the showers have very low water pressure and all lose a lot of pressure every time someone flushes a toilet, which can be almost constant depending on the time of day.

Overall, great place to camp if you're lucky enough to book a site!

I'm standing in the ocean as I write this. Crystal clear water! Amazing beach! Amazing campground! Campground is right on the ocean. No power, water or sewer in campsites but who cares! Stay here, you won't be disappointed!

Gorgeous beach! Went at low-tide. Don't bother looking for sand dollars (we saw none, dead or alive) to mark off on any scavenger hunts you may be doing. Lots of cool little shells and snails and crabs to look at though. Never really ran into a single person except on trails leading to and from the beach. Perfect spot for sand castles!

Very enjoyable and peaceful. We saw our first weasel in the wild which was cool. Especially since we live on the island. Lots of wildlife. And the new ant population in the park is intense. We thought the ants might be a problem. But they left us alone. Just be careful wondering around right now. The ant hills are all over the place and they will swarm if you aggravate them.
