This is the closest Gulf beach to the house and one of the most popular in the area. It is only about 4 miles away! There are plenty of restaurants here and at nighttime, Al's Beach Club turns into more of a bar.
Please be mindful of rip currents and we do not recommend swimming at the beach if you see any red flags. Enjoy the pool instead it the water is rough :)
