The beach itself is huge and wide with gorgeous golden sand. Shacks rent umbrellas, chairs, beach toys. Permanent volleyball courts almost always have a game going and sprawling colorful playground equipment crawls with happy toddlers. Just don't go here if you're looking for shade and barbecue pits. Behind the mall, a short walk away, free.
Subway sandwiches to fruit smoothies.
Aside from a little graffiti, fine. The beach itself is pristine, a site for nesting sea turtles and attractive for snorklers who can reach several nearshore coral communities. The big appeal here is emotional. It's good for the soul to escape concrete. Modern, spic and span rest rooms at nature center and beachside.
