    Water is chilly. Great boat watching. It's like playing in a life size zen garden. Stacking rocks is a must!

    If you're camping, enjoy the showers. They're not fancy, but the water's nice and hot!

    Aside from beach essentials, bring bug repellent for gnats, flying ants, flies & squitos. Wear reef walkers for hot sand & rocks in water. Clear waters!

    On a hot day, the sand is extra hot, so be careful!

    Do yourself a favor and do not go to this beach. There's a sign that says look out for asbestos and to contact so n so if you see some. The debris is unbelievable. I felt like I walked through a dump
