Parks & Nature
Only 4 minutes drive away, this is a great local beach with some beautiful walking and bike paths winding along the beach front reserve. It's not a surf beach but is great for a cool dip on a hot summers day. We really like the part of the beach near the ferry wharf where you can also find a shady spot under the trees. Great for picnics too.
