It's a few miles long with multiple beach access points to our for swimming and the other ones have…read moreno lifeguard so they say that you're not allowed to swim. There is a nature center with a museum that's free to walk-through to get a break from the sun if you need as well as a café and some restrooms that are right at the front gate as well as Porta potties that are along the beach route. They are not common though so if you drive by one when you first get there, I would use it, I did see people bring surfboards and go out in the other sections where people were fishing and you have to have a permit to drive onto the beach, which is done by lottery I heard loads of people coming to Swim but there's more than enough space on the beach that everyone spreads out and you get more than enough room in privacy that you don't even feel all the people that are there. Great spot look forward to coming back.

It is not crowded at all and easy to forget that you are not the only person on the beach. Most people in this section of the beach have dogs with them but everyone follows the leash rules and I've never seen anyone not pick-up after their dog. One or two of the parking lots have port-a-potty's and the main two beaches (where you can swim but dogs aren't allowed) have pavilions with restrooms, a cafe, and a beach store.

PLEASE READ BEFORE DOING BUSINESS WITH SURF UNLIMITED:…read moreMy family (3 children and 2 adults) came to Surf Unlimited with an appointment (made weeks before and verified the night before via a phone call) to take paddle boarding lessons and go on an Eco Tour. Our family wanted a last day trip before the start of school. My husband took off work and we spent almost two hours in a car to get there on time for our 10:00 am appointment to be told the women who does the paddle boarding went back to college. We were understandable upset and were treated poorly by the man working in the store who seemed not to care. I attempted to reach the owner and never even received a phone call back. In addition, a similar situation happened to friends of ours. They received a phone call on their way to their paddle boarding lesson from Surf Unlimited cancelling at the last minute. i WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND SURF UNLIMITED. THEY PROVED TO BE HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL.
