First let me say we are not beach people, but the national park service has done a great job of preservation of this beautiful area. The Junior Ranger Program is free and kids LOVE it ! Take the time to complete the JRP as a family, it is great family time and educational.

Great place

Great place to do whatever watersport you enjoy. Beaching is good as long as you go on a day without a lot of seaweed or tar (check local newspaper weather report).
