Access 39

A short ride down Station House Way from Access 42, close to another bend in the road, and near the Shoals Club. A wooden walkway runs all the way from the parking area over the dunes and onto the sand. Parking at the access is limited, and carts quickly line both sides of the street at this popular spot. Like the other East Beach points, the water generally runs calmer than the south side, and it's shallower here, with a long, accessible sandbar. Access 39 also puts you near the tide pools that form at the point, a favorite with families; near the pools the sandbar can sit fully exposed. Be careful, though: shifting tides can overtake the pools and the bar fast.
