The beach is 33 acres, rather large for the area. The sand is very high quality though some small rocks may wash ashore during the off season but that is quite minor. The wealthy town of Norwalk rakes the beach daily during the summer to make their tax payers happy. One particular thing about this beach that is very pleasant is that first and foremost they are very kite-friendly. The administrators with the Park and Rec Department claim that kiters are treated like boaters, therefore they may launch without any problem as `close to the sailing school as possible,` which is very easy.
