I really enjoy doing ham radio at a lot of parks. It's a fun hobby for me. It also gets me out to enjoy the beautiful places all over.

Small, tucked away picnic spot. No services and no beach access.

This Beach is a hidden treasure! It's quiet with a lot of life to sit on and watch the pelican dive for fish. We had about an hour to kill and it was easy to do here. The weather was perfect with the sun out and a slight breeze kept the temperature perfect. There was not a lot of parking and the trail was a bit narrow.
