Haven beach is a breathtaking drive as you pass large beach grasses twice the height of your car lining the sandy driveway in. The beach is protected by large pilings of rock that can be climbed and explored by little one’s (carefully!). There are great pockets of deep water for swimming, and plenty of sand for beach games or tanning. Sometimes Haven acquires seaweed along it’s shores, but it is harmless! It has parking and a bathroom.
