Transportation to and from the beach pavilions is provided on open-air trams along a winding boardwalk through preserve areas offering spectacular nature views.

The Sand Bar is located at the end of the south boardwalk, while at the end of the north boardwalk is The Sandpiper Beach Club.The casual atmosphere, the sound of the waves gently rolling in and the awesome sunsets make the restaurants inviting and popular.
