Beach, Wild life refuge. One of the best kept beach secrets on the island. There is a huge pond on one side and the ocean beach on the other.

This place is right down the road! Go to the beach, catch a wave, or relax in the pond right across the sand. You'll have to purchase a daily permit, but it's totally worth it!
It's gorgeous and has both a southside beach w/surf as well as a barrier beach protected pond for little ones to safely enjoy. It is not mobbed with people, in fact, go early on nice beach days or the lot will fill before noon. There is a small parking fee but the beach and your sanity is worth it.
