Although the beach is only 7 blocks from the Winters’ home, at the east end of Park Avenue, you may want to drive there. If you are driving, just park on the street (it’s free).
There are many steps down to the beach. Complimentary golf cart rides are available for those who don’t want to walk down or up; simply request one.
If you can bring beach towels, please do. (You will need one to sit on and the other to dry off.) We will have pails, shovels, and beach balls for the kids, as well as some extra towels.
Beach chairs and umbrellas can be rented at the beach house.
Kayaks, paddle boards, and life jackets can also be rented. However, you will need Vicki or John to be with you if you want the resident rate. See website for details.
