This beach was well suited for our younger children. Since it is on a bay the water is very calm. It has a swim/wading area that is roped off from passing boats and paddle boarders. It is also close to the shops and restaurants located on 2nd St in Belmont Shore.

Nice sandy beach that is located on the edge of the Belmont Shore neighborhood. This family friendly beach has protected waters making it a great place to play in the water or swim laps. It’s close to Second Street which offers lots of shopping & food options. Across the bay is the neighborhood of Naples, which is a nice place to walk along the canals.
