Get out early at low tide and head east (right) to the point. Sit out on the flats during low tide for the best breezes. Walk to the west (left) past Cold Storage Beach to the Jetty. Walk out to the end of the Jetty. See all the boats, fish off the Jetty or swim back to the beach. Kid love it! Stay for sunset and pizza and cocktails on the beach. The sunsets never get old!
