Wonderful place to visit sunset. Take the courtesy shuttle from the Golf Resort and it’s worth the extra money to rent an umbrella from the Ritz Beach Resort. Even though it’s a public beach, the Ritz owns their beach and they keep everyone but hotel guests off of it. The public side of the beach gets super crowded but we had a huge spot all to ourselves which was really nice.
