BeachExpert Tips & Helpful Hints
  • For surfing history buffs, this was the site of the very fist surfing competition off the mainland, back in 1928. Today, because of the long jetties and removal of the wave-making sandbar, it offers only minimal surfing, but it's a great place to swim and sunbathe.
  • This half-mile stretch of sand is known by locals as Big Corona Beach. Take a look around; if it looks familiar it's because it appeared in Gilligan's Island and some made-for-TV Disney movies.
  • Facilities include paid parking, lifeguards, restrooms, showers, picnic tables, and there is access for disabled visitors.
