Some beaches are open to the public, while others require a residence pass or have restrictive parking, so be sure to do your research before you visit.

Fish from the shoreline. Known as surfcasting, this sport is perfect for anglers of all skill levels. Stop by Coop’s Bait & Tackle or Larry’s Tackle Shop to stock up on the necessary supplies and get advice from local anglers.
Enjoy some friendly competition by playing a game or two of volleyball at South Beach, which has nets already hung.

See what lives beneath the surface by snorkeling. When you set off from the beach, you can swim out as far as you’re comfortable.
