Stay for sunset and get great pictures of the fountain lit up!
Fountain not always operational, but the artwork is beautiful.
It's running again! (seasonally)

A great beach with a nice view of the skyline. Arrive earlier in the day for easy parking. The water slide is $3 for the day. Grab a spot by a tree for shade and sun. The 5.5 m loop is a nice walk. - sheri kowalski
