Honestly, this is one of the better beaches I've been to. It's quiet, not too crowded and the sand is soft on the feet. The water is the perfect temperature. I prefer this over DaytonaBeach.
Flagler Ave. is a very touristy street but a lot of great shopping and restaurants to choose from. Wonderful to have a great meal and take a walk on our beautiful beach.
Try the hidden places like Mango Tango, inside the courtyard right across from Traders, for the best froyo in town and Cafe Verde just behind Clancy's Cantina for great vegetarian fare!
Best entrance to beach. Turn right and drive up beach. Love the food trucks n chillihot dogs. Rent a raft, chair, umbrella, 4 wheller etc n enjoy ur day
Best spot for local taverns/dining Beachside.Shopping galore,$$unless sales.Most will do layaway.I've acquired many topquality treasures with this trick; just ask! Home items,clothes,jewelry,antiques
Please keep an eye out for unattended toddlers. Parents tend to forget ppl drive down beach n kids run from hotel area to ocean or by cars down so keep eyes open n 10mph
Crowded,but the hub Beachside. Food,rentals,plus my faveguy who has NOLA's own Zapp'sVoodoo.He has free sunscreen,sand removing stuff,&best,he knew I am a NOLA girl.And always compliments my bikini.;)
