This beach is called “dig me” beach because the pretty people love showing off here. Very crowded and loud but great snorkeling around the corner of Black Rock and there is shopping and dining at Whalers Village nearby. Park in Whaler’s Village lot.

The water is very shallow and there are little tunnels and caverns for a great snorkeling experience. I love this beach because it has big shade trees for sun protection. There is also a campground with many different options for camping styles. P.S. Leoda’s is nearby and the chocolate hazelnut pie is heavenly.
