We took our kids to Saint Joe’s as young kids 30 years ago. Now we are taking our grandkids to Saint Joe’s and boy, has it grown! We highly recommend this area... between Silver Beach pizza, the Compass splash pad, the wonderful beach with nice restrooms, snack stand and the carousel we couldn’t ask for any more fun. They were too old for the great playground right on the sand! The only down side is that I think the beach could be cleaner. So many cigar tips, and other debris. I think they need a beach Zamboni (like in Florida) to clean the sand... or people to quit polluting it! Hotels are very pricey near the beach. We stayed just off of 94 and it was much more reasonable. Only a 16 minute drive to the beach and they have free parking downtown if you don’t mind walking a bit or on the beach parking for $12.00/day. We liked that they had lifeguards posted also. We will go back again... ????

A beautiful spot to watch the sunset in the evenings. The lighthouse is well maintained and nicely painted. The first portion of the pier seems to be newer and and is quite level, the second portion is older, worn and quite a bit more narrow. Details on parking can be found in the Tiscornia Park reviews.

I spent a couple hours at the Krasl, viewing the outside sculpture and the inside art pieces. It is an asset to the community and to visitors and should be supported. One can sit outside and enjoy the sculpture garden - some pieces are designed for kids so it may be noisy but that is ok. The collections vary on the inside. I found the staff to be most helpful with explanations of the pieces and with the history of the museum
