We would recommend going here. Stay as close to the beach as there is access to lots of restaurants and fun things to do. We just walked across the street to get to the beach. The weather in November was warm. The water was warm enough to go into. but there were people going into the water. We relaxed a lot.

Just a really nice beach area with plenty of parking in a lot, restrooms, showers, picnic tables and Australian Pines you can sit close to for shade if you wish. It is a perfect calm water, gentle grade so young children can play, swim and collect shells.

The market is really nice! Vendors are nicely spread out and wore masks. Most people shopping wore masks. Made for an inviting environment. There's something for everyone!

Love this area because my husband does not enjoy the sun due to skin cancers. I walk the beach while he reads in the shade.
