Thank god for this park otherwise it is very hard to find parking in the area probably the best place to see the beach. Very few areas to access the beach because hotels have taken of the beach shore. Unless you rent a room at a hotel on the beach you will be hard pressed to see the beach. Go to Henderson State Beach.

Hilarious interaction with Ranger. Flags were up for wind and current advisory. As I give the guy my six bucks to park I ask, “But we can just put our feet in the water, right, as long as we don’t swim?” “No, sir. You may walk down to the water, but you can’t touch it,” he said. I imagined tired Rangers running along the waterfront siting people for touching the water - AT THE BEACH!. I guess you had to be there. We chose not to part with our dough and went to a public beach = and put our feet in the water :)
