Love the fact that this beach is so quiet, and, relatively clean!…read more I've come to this beach on multiple occasions now, once for a Friday company volunteer clean-up event and on a Saturday just with my family. On the 1st occasion that I came here, I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the beach actually was as we didn't have to do much work to spruce it up. Garbage is rarely found on the beach, BUT there are a lot of broken shells and little rocks laying around. It was very quiet when I arrived at 9 AM for my volunteer event, but activity did begin to immediately pick up around 10:30 - 11:00 AM as families began rolling in to the parking lot. The beach isn't huge and neither is the parking lot, but on the summer Saturday that my family and I visited, it didn't feel all that crowded still. No lifeguards are on duty here and I don't think they ever are here since it's relatively small compared to more popular beaches. The one downside of the beach is that there isn't a whole lot around either as the beach is surrounded by a residential neighborhood and stores and restaurants are far off. BUT, the best thing about this beach is that it's FREE and no fee is required to enter!!

Regardless of catching keepers, we were reeling them in all day long. we went from 7:30am to 2:30pm and between the 4 of us we hooked about 40 fish. Although we only had one keeper, it may have to do with the fact that the limit was raised to 18". These guys stick to the rules and don't let anyone keep shorts. Overall fantastic crew and boat, great trip! Will be going again very soon!

He is professional and quick to respond and has experienced so many different event and weather scenarios that he makes you feel incredibly comfortable with all of the planning aspects. I kept asking him if the boat was going to look as amazing as the Instagram posts and he assured me it would...and it did....actually better!!!! He is a man of his word . We used his recommended caterer and DJ for ease of planning and both were fantastic. The food was tasty and plentiful and DJ Anthony connected us to a private portal where my daughter was able to select all of her favorite music. But I would be remiss if I did not mention the Festiva crew. Each staffer friendlier and more accommodating than the next. Our experience was a 10/10 and I truly hope I have the opportunity to plan another event with Teal Cruises again.
