You Can cross the inlet to get to the beach but you can also9 walk to the left about 1/2 mile to avoid crossing it. Be sure to see all the nesting and visiting shorebirds!
Stand up paddleboarding is a great way to see the inlet & all the beautiful wildlife! Check the tides before you go, we got caught at low tide, had to board out into the gulf & carry the boards back!
Park at the far end of the parking lot and make a left at the end of the ramp. Walk about a quarter of a mile and there is the biggest white sandy beach I've ever seen.
My husband and I were there today had a great day.Packed up left and then realized I had not taken my Fidbit off of our sheet before we shook it out.I want to thank whoever turned it in. thanks .Kathy
Prepare 8 usd for parking fee if you don't have beachpark sticker, and park in the additional parking area if you want to easier / closer access walk to the beach..
Neat to walk across the inlet to even more sandy beaches. Lots do to; rent fishing eqipment, paddle boards, water trikes, kayaks, concession stand and bathrooms.
Apparently, you have to wade across the waist-chest high lagoon to get to Tigertail Beach but the water was so mucky that we didn't bother. We just watched the birds & fish for a bit & left.
