If you walk towards town there is a splash pad that is really large and a carousel. Then you can easily walk up the stairs into town.

I was able to ride my bike around, walk on the beach and get lite snacks in the concession stand. There are even free fixed grills where you can grill here, which I have to try that next time I am here. We ended up spending at least 6 hours here and was so relaxing. I would greatly recommend this park to anyone.

There was also a large elastic spider web, for lack of a better description; though this did not get as much usage as the rest of the play area. There are benches allover for great views of the sunset. The only downsides are paying to park and you can't really get into the water since there isn't direct access.

I love coming out here when there's not many people and just think while looking out at the water. Yes, you do have to pay for parking, but you do at most, if not all, beaches in the area. I do prefer this beaxh over Silver Beach mostly because there is less people, not far from Silver Beach, easy to get to and easy to find a parking spot. They have park equipment, picnic tables, and a roof covered area.

While the main blasters are off, there's water spouts from the ground that my niece and nephew loved covering with their feet and running around. Heads up that it operates from the first Monday in May through the last Sunday in September, opening at 10am or noon and closing at 8pm or 9pm depending on the day. Check their website for current hours :) A wonderful spot in St Joe!

People come here to just sit and watch the waves, look for beach glass, do zen meditation/gardening with the pebbles, clean up litter, swim, paddleboard, and chill with their dogs. (The last is technically not allowed but I won't tell if you won't.) The only drawback is there isn't much parking. Pro tip: your navigation app may direct you to a parking lot north of the parking lot with a ramp entrance to the beach, but that is great for overflow parking. Rocky Gap County Park will get you to the closest parking lot to the beach.

My family visited this beach yesterday (Friday). We arrived around 3:30pm to a full parking lot and…read moregrassy areas with cars, but luckily some were starting to leave. The beach is very narrow, so we were worried at first about finding a space where we could be distanced enough. Not too far down we found a spot. By 4pm many families had left. By 5 there were only a few of us and the occasional individuals coming to find rocks. We couldn't believe how nice the water was! Weeks of 80+ weather has made the water cool but refreshing. Everyone enjoyed looking for pretty and interesting rocks or digging in the soft sand. The girls could go out quite a ways and it not be too deep. Because there was an advisory against swimming, we didn't try to see how far we could go. There are two latrine style bathrooms. Smelly bit could have been worse. Heads up there is very little signal to be found at the bottom of the bluff. We would go again. I'd make sure I took my water shoes as I have sensitive feet, but the rocks are mostly smooth and only go out maybe 5ft or so before it's mainly sand. Having our wagon made the short haul from the van, down the ramp, and to a spot not far from the ramp. Oh, and we'd have tools to help search more more rocks. :)
