So huge is this beach that people trudge across boardwalks as long as football fields just so they can get a glimpse of the surf. This paradise is controlled by condos and private beach clubs, but bathers in the know get here through a marked gate on Southeast 20th Street. Free, but scarce. 23rd Avenue, left on Barbara Drive then right on South Ocean. Ask the condo dwellers for some Grey Poupon to go with the ham sandwich you'll have to pack.
Skaters dodge pink tourists.
New bistros brim in the evening. South end boasts beachside basketball court endless picnic tables and barbecue pits, volleyball areas. The beach is narrow and without frills such as restrooms and concessions, but you can surf here in section just north of Sunrise. Area on Sunrise Boulevard and you can also use the park's restrooms across A1A from the beach. Farther north, some hotels boast beach bars, restaurants.
