Beach

Great beach! I would head anywhere past 6th street (either West or East) for the best parking and less people on the beach.

Water park

Not only does this County Park have a huge waterpark and smaller splash pads around the park they also have miles of paved bike paths, kayaking, bikes for rent, hiking And tons of playgrounds throughout. It’s definitely worth the parking fee to get in for everything that you get to enjoy it.
