I love this beach, the only problem is the lifeguards are SO annoying. They sit in the water in their rowboats (only about thirty feet out) and yell at you if you try to swim past them. So, you can't even really get to the point where the water is above your shoulders. I like to SWIM, not stand in the water and these lifeguards are TOO uptight.

Pros: Location, Beauty, Friendly People

Cons: , Loud kids, Parking
