About

Central Avenue Beach as seasonal restrooms and potable water.
There are two picnic tables at the west end of the parking lot up the stairs. The National Park strongly urges visitors to remain on the beach area and not to climb up on the dune slopes directly behind the beach.
The restrooms are wheelchair accessible. The beach and picnic tables are not wheelchair accessible.

Ther are no lifeguards, so swim at your own risk; rip currents and waves can make swimming hazardous. During the spring and summer, watch the Bank Swallows come and go from their nests in the dunes.
