I hadn't remembered the beach but now I know why. It was rather unimpressive with the sand at the water line very mucky. Tiptoed around LOTS of seagull poop. There were lots of people surprisingly but we didn't stay long. Won't visit again.

Must get there early or plan to wait in line, they only have limited space, but it's a nice little spot to sit by the water, have a picnic, swim, etc.

We knew there are no beaches in this area of Florida, but just wanted to sit near some water and chill for a few hours. When we got there, the parking lot had just reopened after being full. There's a $5 fee to park. There is a playground for the kids, a snack bar, which has lots of food variety, covered benches to picnic, and a small beach area with shallow water. We sat on some beach towels on the sand, and the wind was so bad that we had sand in our eyes, ears and hair. We're not sure if it's always this windy, but we threw in the "towel" after an hour or so. You can't walk the beach as it isn't really a beach. But if you just want to be near water and maybe hang out for an hour or two, this fits the bill. If you have small kids, they probably with enjoy it there.
