"The name has changed to Miami Beach. Beautiful private beach with beach houses around them. Clean but the food at the local restaurant can be very pricey. Nice drive there. Not packed during the week days. And the parking is much cheaper when you go earlier if you go later on the day. It can be pricey for parking about 30.00 just for 5 hours. Plan ahead before going. Weekend even crowded and pricey for parking space."

"If you do not visit this place during the summer months for "The Original Beach Donut" you are missing out! It is 100% "cheat day" worthy! The blueberry donut is so amazing, my entire family loves them. They are on sale from 7-10 AM early, but, if you want to stand a chance of getting your pick of the bunch, GO EARLY! The volunteers are incredibly friendly and my sons both get a huge smile on their face every time we go. The raised funds also go to a great cause."

"I came here on a Sunday morning with my boyfriend for a nice day at the beach. The public portion of the beach is somewhat small, so it's a little crowded on the sand. However there is a restaurant and bar right on site with some nice colorful beach chairs for anyone to use. Parking is done at people's houses for about $20 for the day."

"The beach is nice clean, they are really strict about not alcohol in the area..(I like it) It's safe... it's so hard to find parking spot most areas are private, and if you ask the local residents they won't help you.. !! If you not leave here you can't park here!! But we did it, there's streets by the bars they have 20 dlls you can park all day ... it was great.... Bring your food, around just junk food and not cheap."
