Reviews
"I just doesn't get much better than this place for beach lovers who love an "off the beaten path...natural beach with not many people around". Can start to find a pocket full of sharks teeth in mere minutes! Beautiful peaceful natural beach,!"
"Beautiful beautiful place. No roads, only accessible by water. Which makes it all the better."
"Went on a kayak trip here and loved everything about it....saw dolphins, Manatee, exotic birds, jelly fish."
"Quiet beach, very serene. No facilities, need to be rebuilt post Ian"
"Great beach to take your boat to and hang out for the day. This is a state park so no alcohol or dogs are allowed on the beach. There is a big covered Pavillion with several spaced out picnic tables and one large grill to cook on. They have nice size clean bathrooms as well. The only down fault is there aren't many boat slips. The water is also very shallow in spots so be careful when you are boating back there. We usually see a few manatees or dolphins on are way to the slips."
