I love the ultra fine white sand with tons of shells that have washed ashore. Want to start a shell collection? This is a good place to start. The waves here are amazing and a great place to go for people who have a knack for surfing. I think the facilities here also also well maintained. The boardwalks and beach access points are sturdy and well constructed. Bathrooms are available at the entrance to the beach access points. Overall, one of the best beaches I've been to in Florida. An added bonus is that it's not overly crowded and parking is plentiful! :)
