Review & FAQ:

True to its name, Big Beach is a wide stretch of sand with a large shorebreak. The waves here are powerful and often dangerous; swimming is sometimes not advisable, but lifeguards are on duty and visitors can consult them if they have any questions about whether or not the water is safe. However, the waves also mean that the water is excellent for boogie boarding, and lucky visitors will have the chance to watch some talented athletes put on a show. Food trucks are usually operating out of the park, but picnic tables are available for anyone who would prefer to bring their own food.
