Beach is ok but not for snorkeling. If u snorkel to close to the rocks u better becarefull or u will get thrown into the rocks. Free parking and short walk to beach.

Absolutely wonderful beach. Clear water that led to some amazing snorkeling excursions. Not crowded, lifeguard included, clean bathrooms. Super close to Phil Foster Park and their snorkel trail. Highly recommend this beach!

This is a nice little park. We didn't need to make use of the facilities so I can't rate based on those. I will say that the path to get to the beach itself is deep sand. It's not board walk or sidewalk. They hauled in beach sand to make the path through the mangroves. It's deep and long. There are more convenient places around that I prefer over this one but the beach is nice. The sand is quite sandcastle friendly and the availability of a Pavillion is a nifty perk. Travel light or bring a wagon made for the beach.

Super! This is a beach we frequently visit. Teeming with sea life, your likely to see tons of exotic fish, snook, turtles, crabs, stingray we've even encountered nurse sharks. Whether your searching the reef or swimming for fun this is definitely the spot to be.
Bathroom facilities, shower, and lifeguard on duty. Careful hot hot sand. Come prepared.

Beautiful beach but the walk up is a little difficult. Recommendations to put some kind of pathway because the sand can get oh so hot!

This beach is beautiful! Came here with the family. People around you respect your belongings. Water is clear and sand is hot. I would suggest water shoes if you don't wat to step on tiny sea shells. If you have goggles take a look under water and get a glimps of a school of fish swimming by! Super cool! Highly recommend this beach!

It was hot but once you get the the ocean, the water is nice and well worth the hike. Bring plenty of water and enjoy yourself

Public access beach next to Riveria Beach. Great place for families. Water hasn't been too rough for the kids. Does get occasional riptides but lifeguards are very keen how to spot them and close that area of the beqch quickly.

My vacation this year included universal, the keys and this beach. This beach was my favorite. Crystal clear water and great snorkeling. I saw a ray, baby barracudas, snappers, pirate fish and some other tropical fish. I mainly explored the small reef behind the Marriott but was told of another a bit down the beach in the other direction. The restrooms could use some updating and attention and there is zero shade so bring an umbrella. Other than that I would have been happy to spend my whole vacation here and am planning a return visit to visit this area longer.

It's a nice quiet beach tucked away in a neighborhood area. There's a portion of the beach that has a bunch of rocks similar to the blowing rocks preserve in Jupiter. There's a portion of the beach that has a bunch of seaweed, but there is enough sand that u can find a comfortable spot to lay down. There's also turtles here hatching regularly so watch out.

Great place to spend the day at the beach. There are rocks close to shore and plenty of fish. I often spot nurse sharks.

If you like a rustic setting, then this your ideal park. I love it. And the beach being so near, and rest rooms in fairly good condition. A nice place to pass through and have a picnic and fun

Not to many people, water was clear. I saw a few different types of fish under water. I wish the bathrooms were a little closer, but a very nice place to swim
