Our family, Mom, Dad, 2yr daughter and Grandma had a great and memorable day here. The playground was the best playground we've ever seen for a 2yo and that tops Disney World.The beach area was protected with gigantic lava rock to form a swimming area for snorkeling with calmer water for young and old. Restrooms, outdoor shower and plenty of parking. Be a good tourist and it will be fun for all.

Great park for family fun. Good spot for beginners to learn to snorkel because of human made sheltered pool. As expected, visibility is not great this time of year but still worth checking out. Saw a flounder, parrot fish, a few wrasse and butterfly fish.
