    We stayed in this park on the campground. A basic but good place to stay. In the middle of the nature, next to a creek. The beach wasn't really close. The walk would have been over 30min. We took the RV and there was plenty...More

    Beautiful Beach but No Swimming and No Driftwood

    This is a beautiful beach but there is NO SWIMMING allowed due to the dangerous currents formed where multiple bodies of water meet here. This is tough on a hot day. This beach is wide and beautiful and the long walk from parking (esp long...More

    Beware of mosquitoes!!

    We spent the day there today. Beach was beautiful, quiet, with wonderful driftwood and white sand. I absolutely recommend avoiding the hiking trail at all costs unless you have lots of mosquito repellent!!! The massive quantities of mosquitoes were relentless !
