Still, as it's Mother's Day there was quite the crowd for the start of the season. This beach is right past the bridge so there is a bit of a current but as it's usually calm it's safe for all ages.

But we came back in the afternoon and drove to the end and loved it. There was this serene feeling driving through seeing the horses, birds, and wildlife. It's a $10 fee if you go during operating hours. There are several trails, places to pull over for pics, and the beach back here. The marsh is so pretty. It was a beautiful sunset and just a vibe for me and my family. We ooooohh'd and ahhh'd the whole drive. I liked that we went later in the afternoon because it wasn't as crowded and parking was easy to find. The beach is literally just steps away from the parking lot. The beach is pretty big. It's wide open, no houses or buildings, just beautiful water and brown sand!!! I had a fantastic time. I highly recommend this if you visit the area. If you drive past the McDonald's and keep driving until the end, it's a straight shot. Definitely check this place out!!!
