Water
Type:
- Flat
- Chop
Hazards:
- Ships/Boats
- None

Quality:
- Clean
Best Tide:
- Tide Independent


Enclosed bay with outlet to ocean. All that separates you from the Atlantic are the dunes. Can be choppy on strong NE's though usually flat. Tide not an issue though weeds can be heavy in the late summer and fall so body dragging beginners will dredge up a faceful. Shallow near the shore.

Edit
 Beach
Type:
- Sand
Size:
- Medium

Hazards:
- None
Location crowds:
- None


The beach is not that wide but due to the winds it works in and the shallowness of the water near shore a launch here is relatively safe. No rocks, some pebbly areas upwind and some moored boats. No concrete, lifeguards, unregulated public access.
