Review & FAQ:

Although Breakwater Beach is one of the most famous beaches in town, it is never too crowded, so you can be sure to catch some sun and swim without people bustling about you. There’s also a large parking lot as well as with numerous pools scattered about the beach when the tide is low.

The shore is long and spacious, even when the tides are high, and is flanked by soft, white sand dunes. The water is warm, ranging from 60 to 70 °F during the summer, and when the tide is low, children can have fun looking for shells and crabs.
