This is my families personal favorite beach access. The parking is limited so you need to go earlier in the morning, or later in the afternoon. The walk onto the beach is very short and there usually aren't a lot of people on this area of the beach compared to the larger public beach accesses. There are not restrooms here.

Gould's Inlet is a favorite of ours for walks on the beach and looking for wildlife. There are usually several tidal pools - which my children enjoy exploring and hunting for marine life. There is a small hose-off area at this access.
