The most popular beach spot on the island. Walk the pier, fish, many restaurants and shops. They usually do fireworks once a week of the pier. It’s definitely more of a party scene at this beach, than the more quiet public accesses. I would still consider it family friendly.

One of our family’s favorite spots. We like to park along the road and take the beach trail to the rocks which split the sound and the gulf. Parking is limited and $5, no bathrooms, and quite a hike.
Great for fishing, scuba and snorkel, kayaking, and fun adventure climbing on the jetties.
