Public access entryways are located about every half mile or so and can be found all the way down until the inlet ends. Only the main pier access has parking and a shower head and spicket to rinse the sand away. The rest are just entryways. Parking can be quite difficult at times so be patient. The public access stair rails are well taken care of and help protect the dunes. The sand from the dunes is further back and has overtaken some of the walkways so be careful when you are trying to access the beach. The further south you go from the pier, the more beach space you will have for your group or to engage in an activity like spikeball, baseball, frisbee, etc. The sand is very nice and makes for great sand castles. We've spotted dolphins and fish from time to time. There are no lifeguards but the local law enforment does patrol to ensure attendees are behaving.

We tried setting up at 6 am to get a spot and the jerk actually went out of line in front of us and put to sets of umbrellas with 4 chairs each up so we couldn't walk to the beach without walking at least 30 yard out of our way on either side. Best part - nobody had reservations on them; they were for rent. And we're not rented all day.

" Oh look, this used to be a bedroom...but you can't tell bc there's nothing in here...but take my word for it!" It's an old empty shell of what "used to be" something but isn't anymore. There is nothing interesting to look at. It is nothing...literally. Then, to add insult to injury, they want you to pay for it. Good grief!
