Quote: We visited this idyllic beach during President's Day weekend and expected to find it swarming with visitors. Instead, we found a semi-secluded stretch of white sand, where turquoise blue water laps gently on the shore and schools of small fish dance around your ankles while you wade. My friends and I secured a stretch of sand for ourselves before deciding to spring for a couple of umbrellas. The investment was well worth it.

This isn't a bad thing at all, adding a festive element to the normally near-deserted beach. However, if crowds are not your thing, head to a different beach on the weekends. Once used as target practice by the Navy, a couple tanks remain as reminders.
