Crescent Beach

What a beautiful, wide and pet friendly beach. in the 4 years that we have been coming here I have never seen a cigarette or dog droppings on this pristine beach! The sand is like baby powder. Bring your dog (leashed only) and enjoy your day

This beach is beautiful! We found a parking lot off the main area and had a LONGG bridge to the beach and it was beautiful! The area was secluded also. The walk bridge had some interesting spiders and bugs. It’s a little scary but once you make it to the beach, it’s perfect.

This is really sad but I’ve lived in Gainesville 4 years and this is literally the only beach I’ve ever been to in Florida.
It’s a wonderful beach… has a small parking lot, a place to rinse off, picnic tables, and a great restaurant right next to it (called South Beach Grill).
There is a lot of other restaurants and shopping near by, so for a day trip to the beach it’s the perfect place for my family. It’s only about a 1 and a half or two hour drive from where we live so it’s super convenient.
They allow 4×4 vehicles on the beach (which i unfortunately don’t have) but hey it’s a cool option!
Highly recommend!

The Beach to relax in. Able to drive to the spot. Better bring the shade, beach chairs and cooler. Beverages of choice all around. The tide rolls in and out during the day. Pick your spot and relax. Heavily patrolled to keep the trash out.
