A great place to walk along. The dunes are protected for endangered birds but the beach is great. Not sure how it is during the height of tourist season, but in early June it was almost completely empty. With the wind lightly blowing, the sun on your face, and the perfect blue ocean, this makes for a wonderful 1.5 hour stroll. Additionally the. Bus stops close by. If you skip one bus you can arrive and then leave as the second bus arrives 2 hours later. I even spotted a seal swimming off shore.
Great beach to catch a sunset from. Its never crowded here even on the nicest of evenings so you can be sure to get an unobstructed view of the sun setting. Not the best beach for swimming. The surf is a bit rough to the west. The harbor to the east looks calm and inviting but Ive had too many personal experiences with very strong rip currents here to ever feel comfortable going in past my ankles.
