Great place to park with the dogs and enjoy a day at the beach. We backed up the truck and grilled on the tailgate. Narrow stretch of beach but its enough for chairs, sun shelter and dogs. Its the only area on a beach you can bring the dogs on Anna Maria Island or surrounding area.

I love walking the causeway at night with my flashlight and finding lots of cool sea life. During the weekends it is a very popular/busy place for families to grill out, horseback riding, jet skiing, and to even bring your fur babies to get in the water. I highly recommended for families.

One of the only places in the area you can bring your pup... it’s rather dirty though. So much trash.

Quiet, easy and free access, dogs allowed. Its close to the road in spots, but beautiful. One side has picnic tables under a separate roof each table...always a cool breeze. Restrooms, wheelchair accessible. ️

We came in the middle of winter break for the north, all the other beaches were crazy crowded so we decided on this roadside beach. We ended up having a great time here.

I wouldnt advise swimming but if you want to look for shells or fish without a crowd this is your place. Just be very careful crossing the road!!!

They dont call it The redneck riviera for nothing.

St
Review №32

Great spot to pull of the road. Always a spot open to sit by the water. The beach is a tad Rocky, but the peace and quiet was a good trade off the busy beaches.

Review №33

I was there yesterday and was forced to leave by a cop. Instead of fighting crime this public servant was driving up and down the beach telling everyone to leave.

Relaxing place.

Went here looking for a waterside place to walk my dog. This met the criteria, but I wouldn’t go back, too much litter.

La
Review №37

Nice causeway for a quick beach fix if you dont feel like dealing with the beach traffic & crowds. Cons are you are sitting on a busy highway. The water quality can be iffy at times, several times a year they have no swim advisories. Watch for broken glass, wear water shoes. Its beautiful in the fall to sit under a shady tree and read a book by the water.

Review №72

Right on a busy road (so watch your kids and animals) but, still pretty awesome. Basically just a few huts to sit and eat, rest and enjoy the view. Small beach to climb down to with regular dogs and their families. Good for shell hunting, just make sure they arent being lived in! We saw several that were occupied by mollusks.

Great locals place to watch the sunset, launch a kayak, and take the dogs for some water fun! The beach isnt as pretty but it is the bay, so lots of debris washes up. It is great to watch the horses that swim here!
