The beach area winds through the Marina Dunes Natural Preserves, making it a popular destination for both locals and visitors seeking outdoor enjoyment.

While water recreation can be hazardous due to strong rip currents, the beach provides facilities for day use, including picnic areas and interpretive exhibits. Notably, dogs are not permitted beyond the day-use parking lot, ensuring a peaceful environment for all beachgoers.
