Surf Play

Oct. 2022

This beach is easy to access (drive-on) and is picturesque. I enjoy hearing and seeing the surf and this spot is great for that. It is a large or lengthy beach; a lovely spot to pass some time.

Soft sand and shiny sights...

Oct. 2022

Lots of privacy, and beautiful sights. You can walk for what feels like an eternity. The sand is so soft and the water is so fun for body boarding in. The nearby LaHave Bakery is also a treat! Totally recommend!

Nice long beach with drive on access

Aug. 2022

Pretty beach curving from the mainland out to Georges Island. The sand is quite firm and you can drive on from the mainland end. The beach is wide enough for vehicles to not be too disruptive. Nice walk. Water very cold.

Great Drive

Oct. 2021 • Couples

Very nice beach to visit. We took our car and drove right on the sand, which seems to be accepted and a thing to do. Very cool experience.

Sandy Beach

Sep. 2020 • Couples

Nice sandy beach located outside Bridgewater. Great place for a long stroll. Cars are permitted on the beach. Not too busy.

Cars allowed on this beach!

Aug. 2020

I like this beach for jogging. It's a nice, sandy beach and quite popular. Cars are allowed to park on this beach which is unusual these days. I don't bring my dog here because some of the owners don't keep theirs on-leash (and mine isn't friendly).

Thought I was in Daytona!

Aug. 2020 • Family

Wow, what a great and different beach. I did not know this place existed and what a pleasant surprise. Would like to go back. Since this a drive-on beach you have to watch out for the traffic, especially with kids playing.

Isolated Beach

Aug. 2020 • Couples

Came here today for a visit. Unfortunately there was lots of fog, however it was still nice. Water was really warm, not a lot of people, plus you could drive your vehicle right on the beach. Plenty of space for everyone!

Highly recommended spot for sure!

Beautiful Isolated Beach

Oct. 2019

We went to Crescent Beach in October on the last day of the season. Zero crowds. Had it all to ourselves. Cool, but beautiful. VERY picturesque. Could sit there all day listening to the waves crashing the shore.
