What parents say
We really loved it, it is the ideal beach for us, because it is super peaceful, a very appropriate environment for our little ones. And it is also complete because it has a playground for children. It is clean and has a spectacular panorama. Ideal to spend a family day 🙏🏻❤️. Excellent!
My favorite spot now! Small and quiet beach, clean and well maintained. Has nice playground, picnic tables and grill , spectacular view. 5-8pm half price off for non-residents, $10weekdays and on $15 weekends. Recommend it for families and kids.
Some stops aren’t planned... they just call to you. Eastern Point Beach was one of those. After a stretch of driving, I pulled in for a break and was greeted by a view that made me stop and breathe.
I've been coming here since 1980 when I was a toddler and have always loved this little beach. $30 to get in to park as of 2024. You can pay by credit/debit card or cash. Lifeguards on duty for the summer. Concession stand is reasonable with prices but it's cash only.
Bringing a toddler?
Reviews and the venue's own info mention a dedicated toddler area or toddler times at Eastern Point Beach — a separate space where little ones can play without dodging big kids.
