A named James River beach within Huntington Park, with seasonal lifeguards and a separate public boat ramp. Check the seasonal schedule and current notices before visiting.

Coverage and evidence
These 2 guides do not establish exhaustive shoreline coverage or today's opening. Pins are approximate planning references; they do not establish an exact crossing, parcel boundary, swimming entitlement or navigable landing.
Typical underwater clarity, shore snorkeling, offshore excursions, full nudity and female-topless use are researched independently. Positive filters require supporting beach-specific evidence.
