On the island, there are two main beaches. The beach that is very close to the boardwalk is Avalon Beach. The other beach is about a half a mile away from this beach and is called Descanso Beach Club. The picture to the right shows Descanso Beach Club and the other pictures below show Avalon Beach. Descanso Beach has a restaurant, cabanas that can be rented, and also has a bar during the day. While still fun for kids, this beach is directed toward adults. While not very far from Avalon Beach, the distance can discourage people from going to it because it is not very close to any of the hotels. When people go to the beach, they often bring a lot of things with them, so it can be an irritating walk. It is nice to go to Descanso Beach Club at night because it has fire pits and often has live entertainment. Both beaches offer kayak rentals. Avalon Beach is great for small children because the waves are always very small. The beach is also very shallow and there are small shells and sand crabs children like to collect and play with. Like any beach, it is always fun to make sandcastles, bathe in the sun, and relax. However, if you are planning to lay out on the beach, it is important to get there early to put a blanket down and reserve your spot. The beach is small, so sometimes it is hard to find a spot.
