We visited on a Monday. When we arrived (around 10:30-11:00) people were enjoying the beach but it wasn’t too crowded. The beach and the nearby park were both clean and beautiful. There is ample pa… Full review by G2961SNchrisr

Hi. When we were at the beach, there was a dad playing with his toddler son that my wife found entertaining and took several photos of him. So, yes to your question. Fairly large beach in terms of length, not overly deep in terms of reaching the water, but certainly deep enough for toddlers. There is another beach are easy walking distance on a path right next to the beach that is more shallow (less sand depth to water). Not sure about crowds, as when we were there it was fairly empty. But, large parking lot would indicate it can handle a lot of people. I think I can send you some pictures of where we were, if you are interested. I tried to type in my email, but for some reason it isn't letting me. Phone is 254-722-0893. I can text some photos.
