The bathrooms and shower are still there, didn't go in to see if they were open though! This is the best area to park for safety - the life guards can keep an eye on your car. But, now there is no life guards!!

From the parking lot, the walkway to the beach looks in good shape!

Looking at the walkway with no way to the beach! You can probably jump the walkway fence - but it is high.
