This site is all about the beach. In fact, that's pretty much all there is to this site. There is no seating around the kitchen, but folks are probably bringing their own chairs to this site. I'm sure it gets a lot of use from the motor boaters. The kitchen is slightly screened/protected from the wind, but otherwise the site has decent views. There will be more protection in the years to come is folks leave those trees alone. There is some shade under the trees, and one good hammock spot. Enjoy the swimming!
