I recently visited John D. MacArthur Beach State Park and enjoyed the quiet, natural setting. The walk across the boardwalk was relaxing, and the beach felt less crowded than many other spots nearby. It was a nice place to spend a few hours walking, enjoying the scenery, and unwinding by the water.

Beautiful park and staff was very helpful and friendly! Super clean! The park is disabled friendly and has a golf cart tram service to take you to the beach across the bridge which was very helpful. Concession is small but has the basics if you leave something behind.
