The beach gates will open at approximately 7:30 am and will be closed at dusk each day. New security cameras have been installed and as always no swimming is allowed when lifeguards are not present.We are grateful for the patience and understanding shown by the public during this time. Our community’s support and cooperation allowed us to make necessary improvements and open the beach quickly and responsibly.We kindly ask all visitors to remain vigilant and respectful of shared public spaces.
