Touted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, this mile-long, heart-shaped, sugar-colored coastline offers just the right proportion of natural and manmade amenities for the whole family. On one hand, there’s calm waters, sand enough to build castles, plenty of shade via palms and sea grape trees, and even places to explore like the adjoining six-acre arboretum. On the other, there’s lifeguards on duty, picnic tables, restrooms and saltwater showers, watersports rentals, beach bar and café, and swimwear boutique. Entrance is $5 per person and children 12 and younger are free. There’s also a $2 parking charge.
