Beaches
Tiny parking lot, but often you can find a parking space here - it is the closet beach to us. Great place to ride a bike!

A beautiful beach with a large parking lot, but it does fill up on weekends through out the year, and all days during season. The best time to find parking is first thing in the morning, or after 4 pm in the high season.
