Access
|
Short walk |
Juno's Kitebeach is located on Beach Rd just north of Marcinski Rd, north of Juno Pier. Approx. 20 minutes from the airport. Take I-95 north to Donald Ross, then go east to the beach. Take a left on the beach road (A1A). Follow for 2 miles, pass the pier, and you be at the beach. On weekends, come early so you can get a parking spot. Parking is road-side, fills up quickly on a good day. Could be no walk, or could be a long walk, depending on the crowd. Police are strict about the parking, too.
Extra information
Stay at least 100 yards away from the fishing pier to the south.
