Absolutely breathtaking....if you remove the hoards of people. It does get crowded but the beach is so large it still doesn't seem overwhelming. I like any beach in the early evening and this is the perfect time to visit here. Facilities are great, water is gorgeous and the sand of course is confectioners sugar delicious. Hit it up Sunday nights...

Clear water, nice shells, uncrowded..... absolutely beautiful relaxing beach. The sand is so extremely soft, it is like walking on flour. The water was warm, and the waves were very subtle, it really is an amazing beach.

We were there in April so I didn't find the beach overly crowded however there are always lots of people walking the beach area. The beach has a public area specifically...

Cool, white sand and crystal clear water. Truly the most beautiful beach I've ever been to. Get here early for a good parking spot and enjoy the cool sand all day.

This is the best public beach in the USA. The sand never gets hot to the touch (actually crushed quartz) and is as soft as baby powder. The other amentities available are everthing you would expect of a great public beach. In addition the beach is totally non-smoking which is great if you sensitive or have kids.

Powdery, white sand beach that never feels hot. Sand is like sugar with very few shells or other debris. Parking can be tough on weekends or in high season, but this beach is worth a little parking search. I've been to other supposedly beautiful "white" sand beaches in the Caribbean or the South Pacific, but they do NOT compare with...

Great parking, beautiful sand! I only wish they had a small dog beach. We didn't try the food and beer concessions, but it was nice that they were there.
