The beach area has six sand volleyball courts and is watched over by life guards (although we arrived at 5:30 and the life guards had left even though there remained plenty of people on the beach).
The surf is different at this part of the ocean versus the ocean in front of our condo. At our condo, the beach slopes deeply quickly, causing the waves to break around fifteen feet out. At this part of the beach it is much more shallow. You could be thirty feet out into the surf and you aren't at knee deep. That means the waves break way early and then roll up onto the shore.
The long wave breaks were enjoyed by the surfers. There were dozens of them around the pier trying to catch really good waves.
The pier itself has bars, restaurants, and a gift shop. There is also an arcade, although most of the games in the arcade were broken. There are plenty of places to sit at tables on the pier to dine, or benches to sit at to watch the surf. If you take the pier all the way to the end, you'll find the outside tiki bar.
We decided to eat dinner at Pelicans and got a great window seat overlooking the water. My wife ordered the shrimp skewers, which came with "sidewinder" French fries.
I ordered a cheeseburger with bacon and a fried egg on it.
The boys had hamburger and fries and grilled cheese. The restaurant was very nice, but a little pricey. I get it - we are paying for the view, and the view was magnificent.
