Amazing place for kids! Sugar Sand Park is huge — with lots of slides, swings, museums, and even a carousel. There are splash pads and water sprinklers — the kids absolutely loved it! The museum inside the park changes its theme regularly, and right now it’s all about space — super fun and educational. Entrance is completely free, which is such a nice bonus. Perfect spot for a family day out, we’ll definitely be back! 💫👨👩👧👧

Exceptionally clean and great beaches but holiday parking is very expensive. $50 on Thanksgiving and $35 on the day after Thanksgiving so I would anticipate high parking prices during other federal holidays as well.
