After a relaxing swim, enjoy a picnic with lunch brought from home or purchased from the beach concession stand. Parking fees are in effect; visitors must have a seasonal sticker or pay the daily parking fee.

Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so.
