πŸ‘πŸ‘ YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED....Stop #3 after we saw the fort. This place is so interesting with cool things to see. Water is awesome and just seeing this history is so amazing. Kids will love climbing around the area. Again only $5 per car to get into the WHOLE park for a full day worth of fun.... People often mention beach,

    Such a beautiful and well kept beach! I love that it’s kind of hidden and not overly popular. The water is super clean and somewhat β€œclear” (I’m used to the murky water on the East coast of Florida). There are a ton of awesome shells to collect as well! My 3 year old had a blast just searching through all the shells on the beach. Overall it was a great experience, I wish we had more time to explore more of the area.

    I love the history behind all this and i was not disappointed here! So much to see and as a photographer there is so much to shoot. The water is warm and the entire area is SO interesting! $5 to park is a cheap way to spend a day if you are asking me.

    The beach is beautiful and maintained very well. The part that’s in the water is small and has very big signs for people not to climb right in front so you can’t really take good pictures of it. There’s families on the beach right in front also, which makes it hard to get a good view from farther away. If you’re just interested in the beach, it’s worth the $5 parking fee.

    If you are going just to see the old fort, there isn't much to see. The beach has tiny shells so it was hard on the feet. Pretty water though!

    The most beautiful beach I ever been to. Have to pay $1.75 toll and $5 parking to be there.

    Able to catch lot of fish during June 19 between noon and 3pm. I saw a man caught a shark and a stingray. Plenty of parking. 5 dollars until sunset.
