03 · Location

In context.

A wide, sandy, dune-backed beach south of a river mouth, reached via a boardwalk through pine forest that channels access across the dune system. Part of an open Atlantic beach-break stretch with a sandy bottom, popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing thanks to consistent cross-shore wind, alongside surfing; works across all tide stages but best at mid to low tide. Dangerous rip currents are a hazard. Lifeguards patrol June 1-September 30.
