Craigville Beach RdGiant beach and plenty of space to stretch out. Other than swimming and chilling on the beach plenty of hiking trails either on the beach in tide pools or in the dunes. Lots of wildlife- occasionally you can see sea turtles 🐢, fish jumping, and if you’re really lucky you’ll see a whale 🐳 in the distance!
