This is our secret beach and its a five minute walk from the house. That being said, it has been known to be other people's secret beach as well. People seem to enjoy making out etc here, so be prepared to just keep walking around the block. Glass often washes up here from the bay so please keep shoes on the little ones. With all of those caveats, it is still one of our families favorite places!
