  It's a nice beach but pretty expensive.. Visited on May 29, 2016 Sunday.. Weekend parking $16.. Entry fee was $9.50 (non residents).. After 6pm it's $4.. We went there around 5.30, so waited to get the passes till 6.. Without a pass you can walk around the beach(strictly walking).. If you wanna sit, lie down or get into water, you have to get the pass.. Monitored by lifeguards.. And yeah, no coolers, food or drinks (they are strict about coolers), we took one, a lifeguard informed us that we are not supposed to have it and he waited till we put it back in the beach house.. You can bring your coolers and leave it in the beach house, play in water and get back to the beach house to eat and drink, and REPEAT ;) we also took a grill, which wasn't allowed either.. They have picnic areas where they give access to their grill, picnic areas can be booked at the beach house for $15, should leave by 8 pm though, so plan accordingly.. Beach house closes at 8 pm and beach at 10.30 pm for public.. If you wanna visit often, you might as well get a season pass, beach only access to four is $106..
  
  If you are not planning on swimming or playing much in water or if you can take care of yourself you can walk a bit from the beach house, where you can enjoy the beach without paying and I was told there is a free parking close by, but you have to be an early bird to get your spot..
