Signs posted state 2-12 years old...The swings have two toddler and two larger ones. The slides were not based on anyone under 6. The stairs to climb up to them are almost 6 feet tall and not for a toddler. You have to be on your toes If the child switched from one slide to the other side as the height mentioned doesn't allow you to guide them from the ground. There are also two potential fall areas (where they climb up) if the child went away from the slides. There's also a climbing wall for older children. Younger kids are relegated to the swings, steps, benches, and short walk up area. I noticed corn hole concrete boards which is a good addition. We walked over to the trains only to see the main train is only open Wednesday through Saturday til 1PM & the caboose had a sign saying under renovation. There are signs showing reservations available for parties and such with bbq pits.

There's no parking, but down the street is public parking so we dropped off our stuff here with me and my husband parked. I love these kind of beaches that are off the beaten path. It's the true definition of beach, beach, chill, and relaxed. Since this is not Siesta Key, the sand is quite different. There are a lot of sand pieces and it feels a lot like gravel. But I'm not looking for that powder sand, I'm looking for the chill beautiful all natural which this is it!
