Skip the crowded day-tripper spots and claim a patch of sand here instead. The water stays glassy enough for easy swimming, and the beachfront scene hits the perfect balance between upscale resorts and local joints like Blanchards. Don't waste money on those generic beach relaxation escapes—the beach is public and free to access anyway. Spend three hours lounging, walk the full length for a tan, and find a beach shack for rum punch before sunset.
