If beach days with kids feel like a workout before you even make it to the sand, save this spot. ☀️🏖️

SkyBeach Resort made for one of the easiest beach days we’ve ever had. A paved path takes you right to the beach with your stroller or wagon, there’s a huge pool just steps from the sand, and amenities like complimentary towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, and poolside service make the day so much easier.

We grabbed coffee and lunch from Paradeco (the avocado toast and cinnamon roll were incredible 🤤), and loved having beach volleyball, pickleball, and everything we needed all in one place.

Bonus: the newly renovated rooms make this the perfect staycation spot.

Not sponsored—just genuinely impressed and had to share! ✨🌴

Key Points:
• Book day pass online
• Under 3 free
• Complimentary towels & parking with pass
• Chairs first come first served
