Vibe
Popular and active, this historic beach lures fishermen and sightseers with an iconic pier, while the melodic surf invites outdoor lovers to cool off with a salt-water baptism. Here, even the family dog can get in on the beach fun—as long as he stays on a leash.
See, feel
The smooth, hard-packed sand is a cocoa color that sometimes shines with a cinnamon hue, providing an ideal surface for beach cruiser bike rides and strolls by the vast, sapphire Atlantic. Boulders protect the land surrounding the pier, but just past it you’ll find rolling dunes. Buildings are a maximum of 35 feet tall, so the scenery is easy on the eyes.
On or near the beach
Reconnecting with family, friends and nature while you kick back by the shore is an always-popular option, but the ways to play are legion: waves here attract skim boarders, boogie boarders, surfers, paddle boarders and kiteboarders.
