Beaches

We rediscovered paradise one Sunday afternoon when we happened to encounter Englewood Beach at Chadwick Park. The newly renovated boardwalk with lovely shaded pavilions showcased the white sands and quiet surf of Englewood Beach. The beach itself was clean and just wide enough to provide a nice walk between the boardwalk and the surf. I was particularly interested in the signs that were posted just off the boardwalk before entering the sand dunes, which described the area as a Sea Turtle nesting area. If you like shelling, there was a nice variety for the taking. Clean rest rooms and easy access parking made the visit a pleasurable experience. There is a fee for parking so make sure you bring change as the parking machine does not provide it. Located just across the street from the park are several nice restaurants and cute stores. What a relaxing, beautiful location! We recommend that you check it out!
