Classically beautiful gulf coast Florida beach. Bright white, soft sands, gorgeous blue-green water, you can’t find much better than this. I’ve been here a few times, and came for the sunset the other day and it was just stunning. Only bad things are that it is definitely a more popular, touristy beach so it can get pretty packed, and if you want to rent umbrellas and chairs it’s a lot spendier than other places, $45 for the whole day. But other than that it’s just wonderful, there’s a bunch of restaurants and bars that you can walk up to and hang out right off the sand, super convenient and fun area.

Beautiful beach! White sugar sand beaches, clean and great to walk along. Easy to walk miles in either direction (N-S) with multiple resorts dotting the way. Beautiful sunsets and wonderful views. Great place to stop and enjoy the local marine and avian life common to this area. Don’t be surprised to see the occasional dolphin, egret, cormorant, pelican, etc. If you are visiting the area, be sure to stop here! Please familiarize yourself with the local regulations. From postings, animals are not permitted on the beach. Additionally alcohol is also not permitted. These notes are from my personal review of postings during my visit. Please look for and check regulations and postings prior to your own visit to verify this information.

A beautiful beach. We were here durring chilly weather, 40 degrees, so everyone was bundled up. It was nice and relaxing walking on the beach and finding shells, there weren't crowds of people which was quite nice. The most gorgeous sunsets are here and I definitely recommend taking some photos if you have the opportunity and walking along the beach with your loved ones.

Absolute amazing views. One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been too. The sunrise to the sunset were just breathtaking, and the set up is rather good whether you are staying locally or visiting out of town. Just was in love with this place. Plus I got engaged on this beach too

On the off season in the winter months they do not groom the beach and the red tide was going on when I visited so there were many dead fish and marine life lying along the beach. The view is breath taking though and there is just nothing like walking along the beach and watching the sunset.

White sand beach and blue waters. One of the best beaches I've been to. There are bars right on the beach and they serve great food too. Went to Jimmy B's to get food.
