Small and quiet on the south shore of Indian River Bay. Known for crabbing and clamming off the pier rather than for swimming — the bay here is shallow and warm.

Leashed. No guarded swimming beach here, so the summer closure that applies elsewhere may not bite — confirm before relying on it.
Still to confirm
Listed openly rather than hidden, because a gap you can see is worth more than a gap you can't.
- Get the park office number.
- Confirm the fee band — bay-side parks may be priced as beach parks.
- Confirm crabbing pier access and whether a licence is needed.
