Great beach without the high rise hotels and boardwalk expense. The area is clean, restrooms are clean and it is just a nice place to spend a beach afternoon relaxing.

This is one of the loveliest state parks anywhere. We didn't get to see it all, but the wildlife was everywhere. You must take the tour of "Atalaya" castle, former home of Anna and Archer Huntington, who spend their winters here. The castle is not a museum, but it is a beautiful nevertheless.
