There is a beautiful sandy beach at the southern end of the Oleta River State Park which is quite protected and is perfect for little kids as there are no waves. However, please note that there is no lifeguard here, so pay close attention if visiting with children. From the plentiful parking lot to the beach area it’s a five-minute walk, and once there, you will find plenty of picnic tables and barbeque grills in the area, pavilions for larger groups, as well as showers, toilets and changing facilities.
