About this place
Busy ocean sand running south from a pier with cottages built on it, watched from permanent lifeguard towers, with showers to rinse off before the car.
How kid-friendly is it?
Nearby places

New inclusive climbing and play equipment right on the bay.
Just over a mile of ocean sand watched from permanent lifeguard towers, with an old wooden roller coaster right behind it for when your kid is done digging.
Climb, slide, then run around on the grass. Short, simple and close to the water.
