Bird watching may be enjoyed throughout the day, and there is a tropical coastal hammock where one can view subtropical vegetation and native wildlife. The beach is ADA accessible, including the freshwater showers and restrooms. Parking is by beach parking sticker or daily fee and has been expanded to include a 340-space public use garage. The park is open 8 a.m. to sundown, year-round. Onsite amenities include lifeguards, showers, grills, picnic tables, boat ramp, observation tower, restrooms, bath house, bike racks and a concession offering beach equipment.
