The beach is located in the Virgina State Park. It is a sandy beach on both side, the ocean and bay side. However, during the summer time, the access to the beach is restricted in order to protect the bird nesting area. The access re-opens in September. The shape of the beach is a half circle.
Wind is not very consistent, and is mostly dependant on cold fronts passing through. The shape of the beach is a half circle, making it a good spot for every Westerly wind direction.
