Sunsets over the Gulf are beautiful! At low tide we found hermit crabs galore at the water's edge along with tiny clams burrowing into the sand. Walk out about 30-50 yards and lots of sand dollars and 9-pointed star fish were everywhere! The sign to the beach said to shuffle your feet to avoid the sting rays but we didn't see any (in early May). The usual small clam shells were abundant. Parking is available but you have to pay for it. Shops are along the main street parallel to the shore. One downside was the low area of beach, like a small temporary lagoon, with somewhat smelly seaweed between the beach and the ocean at low tide but it was tolerable.
